Abstract

Gas exchange rate studies carried out in the laboratory suggest that the stagnant film model is adequate to relate the transfer coefficients of most gases between the atmosphere and sea to an accuracy of ±15%. Estimates of the average film thickness prevailing for the world ocean based on the distribution of natural radiocarbon, bomb-produced radiocarbon, and radon are in good agreement. Radon data from the BOMEX area and from station PAPA lend support to Kanwisher's suggestion that gas exchange rates should vary in proportion to the square of the wind velocity. These observations permit a number of generalizations regarding the potential of the ocean as a source and sink for trace gases to be made. They also permit the more complicated situation for carbon dioxide to be assessed.DOI: 10.1111/j.2153-3490.1974.tb01948.x

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
