Air/Sea Transfer of Gases and Aerosols

Abstract

Our long range goals for this project are to: 1) understand the effect of various physical and chemical properties of the air-sea interface on gas exchange, and 2) characterize the sea surface texture and turbulent boundary layers. These studies will provide a basis for future work on the active and passive sensing of the sea surface and the estimation of surface gas transfer velocities from such information. They will provide new insight into the mechanisms by which chemicals are transferred across the air/sea interface.
