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 oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) off Chile as intense source of CO2 and N2O
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated, for one of the most intense and shallow OMZ, the simultaneous N2O and CO2 fluxes at the air-sea interface.

Influence of the surface microlayer on the flux of nonconservative trace gases (CO, H2, CH4, N2O) across the ocean-atmosphere interface

TL;DR: In this paper, a ship expedition with FS Meteor using a small rubber raft was conducted in the tropical Atlantic Ocean during a ship-to-water exchange experiment with CO, H2, CH4 and N2O.

Extreme supersaturation of nitrous oxide in a poorly ventilated Antarctic lake.
TL;DR: The slope of a regression of ANP on AOU revealed that potential N2O production per unit of potential O2 consumed in the east lobe of Lake Bonney is at least two orders of magnitude greater than reported for the ocean.

Response of a Macrotidal Estuary to Changes in Anthropogenic Mercury Loading between 1850 and 2000

TL;DR: An estuarine mercury cycling model for a coastal embayment of the Bay of Fundy, Canada is developed and test and suggests that inflowing fluvial and tidal waters, rather than coastal sediments, are the dominant MeHg sources for pelagic marine food webs in this region.

The Effect of Using Time‐Averaged Winds on Regional Air‐Sea CO2 Fluxes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used 6-hour National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) reanalysis winds to determine the actual local distribution of the winds instead of averaged winds with an assumed Rayleigh distribution.

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.
