Gases Working Group: Why is it important to study Air-Sea Gas Exchange?
conference paper
Exchange of trace gases between the oceans and the atmosphere affects the
atrnospheric content and cycling of a range of chemical trace species which are
related to climate change, ozone layer depletion, acid deposition,
eutrophication amospheric pafticle formation, photo-oxidants, heavy metals
and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) The effects and impacts of air-sea
exchange of these gases can be both regional and global. Examples of the gases
of interest are listed below together with an indication of the phenomena for
which they are important.
