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

The carbon dioxide system on the Mississippi River-dominated continental shelf in the northern Gulf of Mexico: 1. Distribution and air-sea CO2 flux
TL;DR: Systematic analyses of pCO2 variation demonstrated the importance of riverine nitrogen export; that is, riverinenitrogen‐enhanced biological removal, along with mixing processes, dominated p CO2 variation along the salinity gradient.

Atmospheric methane flux from bubbling seeps: Spatially extrapolated quantification from a Black Sea shelf area
TL;DR: In this article, the backscatter strength of a multibeam system was integrated with single-beam data to estimate the amount of seeps/m2 for different back-scatter intensities, resulting in 2709 vents in total.

TL;DR: The HadGEM3-UKCA (Hadley Centre Global Environment Model-United Kingdom Chemistry and Aerosols) coupled chemistry-climate model for the period 1960-2009 against extensive ground-based observations of sulfate aerosol mass (1978-2009), total suspended particle matter (SPM), PM10, aerosol optical depth (AOD), aerosol size distributions (2008-2009) and surface solar radiation (SSR), over Europe as discussed by the authors.

Chlorofluorocarbon uptake in a world ocean model: 1. Sensitivity to the surface gas forcing
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the sensitivity of the simulated CFC distributions to the model parameterization of air-sea CFC fluxes within a control experiment and found that CFC-11 is grossly overestimated in regions of deep and bottom water formation, both in the surface mixed layer and at depth.

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.
