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

Variation in Surface Turbulence and the Gas Transfer Velocity over a Tidal Cycle in a Macro-tidal Estuary
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the gradient flux technique to measure the gas transfer velocity (k), and new observational techniques that probe turbulence in the aqueous surface boundary layers were conducted over a tidal cycle in the Plum Island Sound, Massachusetts.

Variability of sources and sinks of CO2 in the western Indian and southern oceans during the year 1991
Alain Poisson,Nicolas Metzl,Christian Brunet,Bernard Schauer,Bernard Bres,Diana Ruiz-Pino,Ferial Louanchi +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe spatial and temporal variations of sea surface carbon dioxide fugacity (fCO2) in the Antarctic, Subantarctic, subtropical, and tropical regions of the Indian Ocean (including the Red Sea) during seven cruises.

TL;DR: For example, in this paper, the average CO2 flux from the ocean to the atmosphere was determined to be 3.9 mol m − 2 yr − 1, with nighttime CO 2 fluxes increasing by 40% over daytime values because of a strong nighttime increase in convective velocities.

Carbon dioxide and related parameters in the East China Sea
TL;DR: In this paper, a low-temperature, low-salinity water mass lying on the bottom of the shelf area in the northern area of the East China Sea (ECS) in summertime is regarded as remnant winter water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ion-mediated nucleation as an important global source of tropospheric aerosols
TL;DR: In this paper, an ion-mediated nucleation (IMN) mechanism was integrated into a global chemical trans-port model (GEOS-Chem) to study ion mediated particle for-mation in the global troposphere.

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.
