Air-Sea Gas Exchange Rates: Introduction and Synthesis

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 surface

Anthropogenic climate change for 1860 to 2100 simulated with the HadCM3 model under updated emissions scenarios

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the anthropogenically forced climate response over the historical period, 1860 to present, and projected response to 2100, using updated emissions scenarios and an improved coupled model (HadCM3) that does not use flux adjustments.

An updated climatology of surface dimethlysulfide concentrations and emission fluxes in the global ocean

TL;DR: In this article, a new global monthly climatology of surface ocean DMS concentration and sea-to-air emission flux is presented as updates of those constructed 10 years ago, using interpolation/extrapolation techniques to project the discrete concentration data onto a first guess field based on Longhurst's biogeographic provinces.

Flux of dimethylsulfide from the oceans: A comparison of updated data sets and flux models

TL;DR: In this paper, the fluxes of dimethylsulfide (DMS) from the global oceans are calculated using the parameterizations of Lisps and Merlivat [1986, Wanninkhof [1992, and Erickson [1993]; the wind fields of Trenberth et al. [1989], da Silva and Young [1994, and Gibson et al., and the maps of sea surface DMS concentration of Kettle et al [1999].

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.
