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

Seasonal and interannual variations in atmospheric oxygen and implications for the global carbon cycle
Ralph F. Keeling,S. Shertz +1 more
TL;DR: The authors measured changes in atmospheric molecular oxygen using a new interferometric technique and showed that the O2 content of air varies seasonally in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres and is decreasing from year to year.

A perturbation simulation of CO2 uptake in an ocean general circulation model
TL;DR: In this paper, the uptake of anthropogenic CO2 by the ocean is simulated using a perturbation approach in a three-dimensional global general circulation model using the combined Siple ice core and Mauna Loa records.

Tropical Rainfall Trends and the Indirect Aerosol Effect
Leon D. Rotstayn,Ulrike Lohmann +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an atmospheric global climate model coupled with a mixed layer ocean model is used to study changes in tropical rainfall due to the indirect effects of anthropogenic sulfate aerosol.

Do we have enough pieces of the jigsaw to integrate CO2 fluxes in the coastal ocean
TL;DR: In this article, the authors integrated air-water CO2 flux data in 44 coastal environments and up-scaled in the first attempt to integrate airwater CO 2 fluxes over the coastal ocean (26×106 km2).

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.
