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

Sulfur Emissions to the Atmosphere from Natural Sources
TL;DR: In this article, a global emission inventory of sulfur gases from both natural and anthropogenic sources is presented, which is divided into 12 latitude belts and takes into account the seasonal dependence of sulfur emissions from biogenic sources, showing the impact of anthropogenic sulfur emissions in the region between 35° and 50°N.

A cubic relationship between air-sea CO2 exchange and wind speed
Rik Wanninkhof,Wade R. McGillis +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the possibility of a cubic relationship between gas exchange and instantaneous (or short-term) wind speed, and its impact on global air-sea fluxes, based on the theoretical foundation for such a dependency is based on retardation of gas transfer at low to intermediate winds by surfactants, which are ubiquitous in the world's oceans, and bubbleenhanced transfer at higher winds.

Ocean-atmosphere interactions in the global biogeochemical sulfur cycle
TL;DR: The ability of these aerosol particles to nucleate cloud droplets, and thereby influence the reflectivity and stability of clouds, forms the basis of a proposed geophysiological feedback loop involving phytoplankton, atmospheric sulfur, and climate as discussed by the authors.

Advances in Quantifying Air-Sea Gas Exchange and Environmental Forcing*
TL;DR: It is shown how the use of global variables of environmental forcing that have recently become available and gas exchange relationships that incorporate the main forcing factors will lead to improved estimates of global and regional air-sea gas fluxes based on better fundamental physical, chemical, and biological foundations.

TL;DR: In this paper, a database of 15,617 point measurements of dimethylsulfide (DMS) in surface waters along with lesser amounts of data for aqueous and particulate DMS, chlorophyll concentration, sea surface salinity and temperature, and wind speed has been assembled.

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.
