CO2 transfer velocity is predominantly subject to constraints of wave-related dynamic processes at the ocean surface layer but is typically parameterized with wind speed. This study proposes and compares two parameterizations which accommodate dimensionless wave terms. The validations are conducted using both laboratory and field measurements of CO2 transfer and wave statistics. A scaling of bubble-mediated gas transfer is implemented into the formula that is linked to wave breaking probability. The improved parameterizations are capable of collapsing combined laboratory and field data sets which comprise diversified conditions of wind, wave and wave breaking.","PeriodicalId":22191,"journal":{"name":"Tellus B","volume":"166 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135478455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

That provided a rich dataset including latitudinal distribution and seasonality of physical and chemical aerosol parameters that allow insights into aerosol sources over the Southern Ocean. These data together with statistics of back trajectory paths of high (75% percentile) and low (25% percentile) concentrations of the studied aerosol parameters were used to identify potential source regions of the respective compounds. For particle number concentrations, MSA, and the non-sea-salt fractions of Ca and potassium the most prominent source regions were found in high DMS-areas close to Antarctica, whereas the potential source regions of NH4 and the non-sea-salt fraction of Mg were located in part further north over the Southern Ocean. These geographical differences would reflect differences in the marine biota.","PeriodicalId":22191,"journal":{"name":"Tellus B","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135650385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The new setup employed a sample-volume controlled system that dosed the fog water into 10 ml aliquots, which were then collected with a commercial laboratory auto-sampler. We collected fog water samples about 10 times more frequently (median sampling period 3 minutes and 45 seconds) than with traditional sampling schemes. Notably, up to over 200 samples were collected within a single fog event lasting 13 hours. The results showed that the intra-event variabilities of pH (up to over 2 units), conductivity (range almost 1000 μS cm–1), and ion concentrations were generally higher than the inter-event variability. The variabilities exhibited particularly fast changes during phases of fog onset and dissolution; in contrast, the centers of the passing clouds at our mountain research sites were rather homogeneous. Overall, our new method showed a marked improvement in sampling speed over traditional methods.","PeriodicalId":22191,"journal":{"name":"Tellus B","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135650366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
