Gas transfer at air-water interfaces / by Nuri Merzi and Mark A. Donelan.: En13-5/87-157E-PDF

"Mass flux of different chemical compounds across the air-water interface is determined generally by the resistance to transfer in the thin viscous sublayer of the controlling phase. Various turbulence creating mechanisms such as wind stress applied at the interface, wave breaking and wave motion itself determine the degree of turbulence which influence the thickness of the viscous sublayer. This report presents a literature review on the gas transfer at air-water interfaces and describes a planned experimental program to determine the mechanisms and rates of the gas transfer"--Abstract, page 1.
