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

Technical Note: The MESSy-submodel AIRSEA calculating the air-sea exchange of chemical species
TL;DR: AIRSEA as mentioned in this paper is a new submodel for the MODU- lar Earth Submodel System (MESSy) that calculates the exchange of chemical species between the ocean and the atmosphere with a focus on organic compounds.

Methane and nitrous oxide emissions from a subtropical estuary (the Brisbane River estuary, Australia)
TL;DR: Surface water methane and nitrous oxide concentrations were measured in a subtropical estuarine system in the southern latitudes in an extensive field study from 2010 to 2012 and water-air fluxes estimated using models considering the effects of both wind and flow induced turbulence, highlighting the need for reduced nitrogen inputs into the estuary.

Modeled natural and excess radiocarbon: Sensitivities to the gas exchange formulation and ocean transport strength
Simon A. Müller,Simon A. Müller,Fortunat Joos,Gian-Kasper Plattner,Gian-Kasper Plattner,Neil R. Edwards,Thomas F. Stocker +6 more
TL;DR: In the absence of evidence of fundamentally different gas exchange mechanisms in the North Atlantic than in the other basins, the authors infer regional North Atlantic 14C inventories which are considerably smaller than previous estimates.

Evaluation of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/Coupled-Ocean Atmospheric Response Experiment (NOAA/COARE) air-sea gas transfer parameterization using GasEx data
Jeffrey E. Hare,Christopher W. Fairall,Wade R. McGillis,James B. Edson,Brian Ward,Rik Wanninkhof +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/Coupled-Ocean Atmospheric Response Experiment air-sea gas transfer parameterization to predict gas transfer velocities from measurements of the bulk state of the sea surface and atmosphere.

Impact of BrO on dimethylsulfide in the remote marine boundary layer
T. J. Breider,Martyn P. Chipperfield,N. A. D. Richards,Kenneth S. Carslaw,Graham Mann,Dominick V. Spracklen +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a global three-dimensional chemical transport model coupled with a detailed size-resolved aerosol microphysics module to study the impact of BrO on dimethylsulfide (DMS) in the remote marine boundary layer.

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.
