TLDR
In this article, the basic equations governing air-sea gas exchange are given, then a review of some models proposed to describe the gas transfer process is given, and experimental approaches through both laboratory (principally using wind/water tunnels) and field measurements are summarized.Abstract:
In this chapter we attempt to present a brief introduction to the subject of air-sea gas exchange First the basic equations governing such exchange are given, then a review of some models proposed to describe the gas transfer process Following this, experimental approaches through both laboratory (principally using wind/water tunnels) and field measurements are summarised Finally, we present what seems to us to be the best current synthesis of the wind tunnel and field results for the prediction of gas exchange rates across the sea surfaceread more

Community metabolism and air-sea C02 fluxes in a coral reef ecosystem (Moorea, French Polynesia)
TL;DR: In this article, community metabolism (primary production, respiration and calcification) and air-sea CO2 fluxes of the Tiahura barrier reef were investigated in November and December 1991.

A numerical scheme to calculate temperature and salinity dependent air-water transfer velocities for any gas
TL;DR: In this paper, a flexible numerical scheme is proposed to estimate transfer velocity for any gas as a function of wind speed, temperature and salinity, given data on the solubility and liquid molar volume of the particular gas.

Dimethyl sulphide and Phaeocystis: A review
TL;DR: Dimethyl sulphide (DMS) is the dominant sulphur gas found in surface marine waters and there is compelling evidence that it is formed biologically in these environments as discussed by the authors. But the role of DMS in ocean chemistry and physics is not discussed.

Influence of oceanic dimethyl sulfide emissions on cloud condensation nuclei concentrations and seasonality over the remote Southern Hemisphere oceans: A global model study
Hannele Korhonen,Hannele Korhonen,Kenneth S. Carslaw,Dominick V. Spracklen,Graham Mann,Matthew T. Woodhouse +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a global chemical transport model with size-resolved aerosol microphysics to investigate the sources of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) in the Southern Hemisphere remote marine boundary layer (MBL).

Interactions between the sulfur and reduced nitrogen cycles over the central Pacific Ocean
TL;DR: In this article, simultaneous measurements of the major components of the sulfur and reduced nitrogen cycles were made along 170°W from 53°N to 14°N, where three apparent air mass regimes were encountered; one from 50°degree}N to 30°N which recently had been in contact with Asia, one from 29°n to 15°n which had passed over Hawaii during a volcanic eruption several days earlier, and one from 14{degree]N to 11°n, where the most representative of remote marine air.

Gas exchange rates between air and sea
TL;DR: In this article, the average film thickness for the world ocean based on the distribution of natural radiocarbon, bomb-produced radioccarbon, and radon are in good agreement, and Radon data from the BOMEX area and from station PAPA lend support to Kanwisher's suggestion that gas exchange rates should vary in proportion to the square of the wind velocity.

Vollständige Darstellung der turbulenten Geschwindigkeitsverteilung in glatten Leitungen
TL;DR: From experimental investigations of turbulent exchange of momentum a formula is derived for the velocity of turbulent flow in tubes and pipes in this paper, which gives a complete representation of the velocity distribution, i. e. it holds good close to the wall as well as in the core of the flow.
