The sea surface microlayer (SML) covers more than 70% of the Earth's surface and is the
boundary layer interface between the ocean and the atmosphere. This important …

The past decade has seen a substantial amount of research on air-sea gas exchange and
its environmental controls. These studies have significantly advanced the understanding of …

Whitecaps on the ocean surface mark localized areas where interactions between the
atmosphere and ocean are enhanced. Contemporary methods of quantifying total whitecap …

Measurements of air‐sea gas exchange rates are reported from two deliberate tracer
experiments in the southern North Sea during February 1992 and 1993. A conservative …

Using recent laboratory and field results we explore the possibility of a cubic relationship
between gas exchange and instantaneous (or short‐term) wind speed, and its impact on …

The Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission will carry into space the
Ocean Color Instrument (OCI), a spectrometer measuring at 5 nm spectral resolution in the …

The oceans contribute significantly to the global emissions of a number of atmospherically
important volatile gases, notably those containing sulfur, nitrogen and halogens. Such gases …

Bubbles transport methane (CH4) released from the sea bed to the surface while
exchanging gas with the surrounding aqueous environment. The fraction of CH4 released at …

Metabolism is a fundamental process in ecosystems that crosses multiple scales of
organization from individual organisms to whole ecosystems. To improve sharing and reuse …

The ocean-atmosphere flux of a gas can be calculated from its measured or estimated
concentration gradient across the air-sea interface and the transfer velocity (a term …
