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

Carbonate Dissolution in the Deep-Sea: Methods, Quantification and Paleoceanographic Application
Nicolas Dittert,Karl-Heinz Baumann,Torsten Bickert,Rüdiger Henrich,Robert Huber,H. Kinkel,Helge Meggers +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the change in oceanic carbonate dissolution and preservation patterns in three deep-sea transects covering areas above and below the calcite lysocline into the Brazil and through the Cape Basin.

Dimethyl sulfide in the Southern Ocean: Seasonality and flux
Mark A. J. Curran,Graham B Jones +1 more
TL;DR: The first flux estimate of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) from the Australian sector of the Southern Ocean (63°E to 162°E) has been calculated from seven voyages, which span spring and summer seasons from 1991 to 1995 as mentioned in this paper.

The ocean carbon sink – impacts, vulnerabilities and challenges
Christoph Heinze,S. Meyer,Nadine Goris,Leif G. Anderson,Reiner Steinfeldt,N. Chang,C. Le Quéré,Dorothee C. E. Bakker +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the current understanding of the ocean as an important carbon sink is reviewed with respect to these topics, focusing on the complex interplay of different physical, chemical and biological processes that yield both positive and negative air-sea flux values for natural and anthropogenic CO2 as well as on increased CO2 (uptake) as the regulating force of the radiative warming of the atmosphere and the gradual acidification of the oceans.

Air–sea gas exchange in the coastal zone
TL;DR: In this article, the important environmental controls on air-sea gas exchange and progress towards their understanding and quantification are reviewed, and an integrated and coherent approach is proposed that can build on recent advances in understanding; recent new international initiatives are a significant step in this direction.

The Atlantic Meridional Transect (AMT) Programme: A contextual view 1995–2005
Carol V. Robinson,Alex J. Poulton,PM Holligan,Alex R. Baker,G. Forster,Niki Gist,Tim Jickells,Gill Malin,Robert C. Upstill-Goddard,Richard G. Williams,Ems Woodward,Mikhail V. Zubkov +11 more
TL;DR: The Atlantic Meridional transect (AMT) as discussed by the authors has been used to quantify the nature and causes of ecological and biogeochemical variability in the planktonic ecosystems of the Atlantic Ocean and assess the effects of this variability on biological carbon cycling and air-sea exchange of radiatively active gases and aerosols.

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.
