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

Variability of pCO2 on diel to seasonal timescales in the Sargasso Sea near Bermuda
TL;DR: In this article, the authors observed that seawater pCO 2 was highly variable on different timescales, ranging from diel to seasonal, and that temperature was the dominant control on pCO2 variability.

Increase in Total Carbonate in the Western North Pacific Water and a Hypothesis on the Missing Sink of Anthropogenic Carbon
TL;DR: In this paper, a hypothesis on the missing sink for the anthropogenic carbon dioxide is presented, in that the missing sinks is the intermediate waters formed in the northern North Pacific and the Southern Ocean besides the deep waters forming in the North Atlantic and the southern Ocean.

TL;DR: A major purpose of the third joint Soviet-American Gases and Aerosols (SAGA 3) oceanographic cruise was to examine remote tropical marine O3 and photochemical cycles in detail.

Using chemical tracers to assess ocean models
TL;DR: A review of the use of chemical tracers in assessing the circulation and flow patterns in global and regional ocean models can be found in this paper, where it is shown that crucial information can be derived from chemcial tracers that cannot be obtained from temperature-salinity (T-S) alone.

Chemical tracers of productivity and respiration in the subtropical Pacific Ocean
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors determined annual rates of net biological oxygen production in the euphotic zone and respiration in the upper thermocline of the subtropical North Pacific ocean using mass balances of oxygen, argon, and nitrogen measured at the U.S. Joint Global Ocean Flux Study time series station ALOHA.

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.
