Knowledge of gas transfer velocities is necessary for carbon cycle studies in coral reef environments, and past studies in these environments have used wind speed/gas exchange parameterizations intended for the open ocean. In order to determine the relationship between wind speed and gas exchange, ...

Interannual variability of the ocean carbon sink is often assessed using annual air–sea carbon fluxes, but the drivers of the variability may instead arise from seasonal processes that are neglected in the annual average. The seasonal cycle largely modulates air–sea carbon exchange, hence understand...
Abstract The air‐sea transfer of carbon dioxide can be viewed as a dynamic system through which atmospheric and oceanic processes push surface waters away from thermodynamic equilibrium, while diffusive gas transfer pulls them back toward local equilibrium. These push/pull processes drive significant s...
The sinks/sources of carbon in the Yellow Sea (YS) and East China Sea (ECS), which are important continental shelf seas in China, could exert a great influence on coastal ecosystem dynamics and the regional climate change process. The CO2 exch
A change in oxygen levels can also lead to a change in decomposition rates, which in turn affects the rate of peat accretion and the ability of the wetland to maintain its elevation relative to sea level [Miller et al., 2008]. Herein we examine one of the mechanisms influencing gas ...
The net sea-air exchange of CO2 between the ocean and atmosphere is calculated according to (1)where K0 (mmol kg−1 atm−1) is the gas solubility of carbon dioxide [Weiss, 1974] and pCO2sea and pCO2air are the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the surface water and the ...
(2012) speculated that surfactants may dampen air-sea gas exchange of N2O and other gases such as CO2 (see for example Tsai and Liu 2003) in areas with a high biological productivity. 3.3.4 Coastal Distribution of Nitrous Oxide During the last two decades coastal areas such as estuaries, ...
Tourism in Mexico contributes to GDP and employment, but has environmental costs in terms of carbon emissions from air transport. The estimation of the car
