Funded Activity Summary

Defining the relationship between microscale wave breaking and enhanced air-water interfacial exchange rates of low solubility gases. Accurate parameterisations of absorption rates of low-solubility gases (e.g. oxygen, carbon dioxide) across open air-water interfaces are important to industry and the environmental sciences, e.g. for estimating carbon dioxide transfer rates in industry and the global environment as well as rates of the re-aeration of nutrient-enriched water. Recent studies show that at open air-water interfaces under moderate wind forcing, absorption rates are primarily determined by microscale wave breaking. This project will determine the dependence of gas flux rates on the scale, strength and intermittency of microscale wave breaking and, by incorporating this key process, produce substantially improved predictive schemes.
