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

Impact of an artificial surfactant release on air‐sea gas fluxes during Deep Ocean Gas Exchange Experiment II
Matthew Salter,Matthew Salter,Robert C. Upstill-Goddard,Philip D. Nightingale,Stephen D. Archer,Byron Blomquist,David T. Ho,Barry J. Huebert,Peter Schlosser,Mingxi Yang +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of a deliberately released surfactant (oleyl alcohol) on gas transfer velocities (kw) in the open ocean was investigated using 3He/SF6 dual tracer technique and from measured sea-to-air DMS fluxes and surface water concentrations.

Fluxes of methane and nitrous oxide from an Indian mangrove
TL;DR: It is established that CH 4 was released passively through the mangrove pneumatophores and is also a source to the atmosphere in the Cauvery delta ecosystems.

Seasonal variation of atmospheric dimethylsulfide at Amsterdam Island in the southern Indian Ocean
TL;DR: In this paper, daily measurements of atmospheric concentrations of dimethylsulfide (DMS) were carried out for two years in a marine site at remote area: the Amsterdam Island (37°50′S−77°31′E) located in the southern Indian Ocean.

TL;DR: The transfer of gases and particles across the air-sea interface is controlled by several physical, biological and chemical processes in the atmosphere and water which are described here (including waves, large and small-scale turbulence, bubbles, sea spray, rain and surface films) as discussed by the authors.

Controls on gas transfer velocities in a large river
TL;DR: This article used the floating chamber method to estimate the gas transfer velocity (k) of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) in the Markland Pool of the Ohio River, a large tributary of the Mississippi River.

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.
