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

Alkalinity changes in the Sargasso Sea: geochemical evidence of calcification?
TL;DR: In this paper, strong seasonal patterns in upper ocean total carbon dioxide (TCO 2 ), alkalinity (TA) and calculated p CO 2 were observed in a time series of water column measurements collected at the US Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS) BATS site (31 °50′N, 64 °10′W) in the Sargasso Sea.

The simulated response of dimethylsulfide production in the Arctic Ocean to global warming
TL;DR: In this article, a DMS production model has been calibrated to current climate conditions with satellite ocean colour data (SeaWiFS) using a genetic algorithm, an efficient non-derivative based optimization technique.

Regional biospheric carbon fluxes as inferred from atmospheric co2 measurements
TL;DR: An inverse model is constructed using atmospheric CO2 observations and atmospheric transport to infer the mean spatial distribution of CO2 terrestrial fluxes and it is shown that CO2 fluxes can be inferred over large regions of the globe, such as continents or large ocean gyres.

Willy Baeyens,Martine Leermakers +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a detailed analysis of Hg0 in surface waters and atmosphere of the Scheldt estuary and the North Sea and their relationship with biological processes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate a regional-scale simulation with the WRF-Chem model for the VAMOS (Variability of the American Monsoon Systems) Ocean-Cloud-Atmosphere-Land Study Regional Experiment (VOCALS-REx), which sampled the Southeast Pacific's persistent stratocumulus deck.

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.
