TLDR
Based upon seven field surveys conducted during April 2005 - April 2008, Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper examined the surface partial pressure of CO2 and dissolved oxygen (DO) in the outer Changjiang (Yangtze River) Estuary, on the inner shelf of the East China Sea (ECS).

Air–sea exchanges of CO 2 in the world's coastal seas

TL;DR: The air-sea exchanges of CO 2 in the world's 165 estuaries and 87 continental shelves are evaluated in this article, showing that upper and mid-estuaries with salinities between 2 and 25 are moderate sources and lower and lower-latitudes with more than 25 are weak sources (8.4 ± 14 mol C m −2 yr −1 ).

Evaluation of sinks and sources of CO2 in the global coastal ocean using a spatially-explicit typology of estuaries and continental shelves

TL;DR: Laruelle et al. as mentioned in this paper evaluated the exchange of CO2 between the atmosphere and the global coastal ocean from a compilation of air-water CO2 fluxes scaled using a spatially-explicit global typology of inner estuaries (excluding outer ones such as large river deltas) and continental shelves.

5.04 – Carbon Dioxide and Methane Dynamics in Estuaries

TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize available knowledge on biogeochemical cycling of CO 2 and CH 4 in estuarine environments, with a particular emphasis on the exchange with the atmosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI

Strong sources of CO2 in upper estuaries become sinks of CO2 in large river plumes

TL;DR: In this article, an extensive search of the literature and data banks identified studies of water-to-air CO2 exchange in 106 estuaries, including the Amazon and Changjiang (Yangtze).

Relationship between wind speed and gas exchange over the ocean

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of variability in wind speed on the calculated gas transfer velocities and the possibility of chemical enhancement of CO2 exchange at low wind speeds over the ocean is illustrated using a quadratic dependence of gas exchange on wind speed.

Carbon dioxide in water and seawater: the solubility of a non-ideal gas

TL;DR: In this paper, the solubility coefficients for carbon dioxide in water and seawater are calculated for the data of Murray and Riley, and are fitted to equations in temperature and salinity of the form used previously to fit solubilities of other gases.

The concentration and isotopic fractionation of oxygen dissolved in freshwater and seawater in equilibrium with the atmosphere1

TL;DR: In this article, the temperature dependence of the Setschenow coefficient for oxygen was found to be K = 0.0225034 ‒ 13.6083/T + 2,565.68/T2.

Budgeting sinks and sources of CO2 in the coastal ocean: Diversity of ecosystems counts

TL;DR: In this article, the authors upscaled air-water CO2 fluxes to take into account the latitudinal and ecosystem diversity of the coastal ocean, based on an exhaustive literature survey.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reconciling opposing views on carbon cycling in the coastal ocean: Continental shelves as sinks and near-shore ecosystems as sources of atmospheric CO2

TL;DR: Takahashi et al. as discussed by the authors showed that continental marginal seas play a significant role in biogeochemical cycles of carbon, as they receive huge amounts of upwelled and riverine inputs of carbon and nutrients, sustaining a disproportionate large biological activity compared to their relative surface area.
