Sea surface microlayers: A unified physicochemical and biological perspective of the air–ocean interface
The sea surface microlayer (SML) covers more than 70% of the Earth's surface and is the
boundary layer interface between the ocean and the atmosphere. This important …

The ocean's vital skin: Toward an integrated understanding of the sea surface microlayer
Despite the huge extent of the ocean's surface, until now relatively little attention has been
paid to the sea surface microlayer (SML) as the ultimate interface where heat, momentum …

Amazon River carbon dioxide outgassing fuelled by wetlands
River systems connect the terrestrial biosphere, the atmosphere and the ocean in the global
carbon cycle. A recent estimate suggests that up to 3 petagrams of carbon per year could be …

Ocean-atmosphere trace gas exchange
The oceans contribute significantly to the global emissions of a number of atmospherically
important volatile gases, notably those containing sulfur, nitrogen and halogens. Such gases …

Gas exchange in streams and rivers
Gas exchange across the air–water boundary of streams and rivers is a globally large
biogeochemical flux. Gas exchange depends on the solubility of the gas of interest, the gas …

Enhanced ocean CO2 uptake due to near-surface temperature gradients
The ocean annually absorbs about a quarter of all anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2)
emissions. Global estimates of air–sea CO2 fluxes are typically based on bulk …

Chemistry and release of gases from the surface ocean
The sea-surface layer is the very upper part of the sea surface where reduced mixing leads
to strong gradients in physical, chemical, and biological properties. 1 This surface layer is …

The organic sea-surface microlayer in the upwelling region off the coast of Peru and potential implications for air–sea exchange processes
The sea-surface microlayer (SML) is at the uppermost surface of the ocean, linking the
hydrosphere with the atmosphere. The presence and enrichment of organic compounds in …

Reduced air–sea CO2 exchange in the Atlantic Ocean due to biological surfactants
Ocean CO2 uptake accounts for 20–40% of the post-industrial sink for anthropogenic CO2.
The uptake rate is the product of the CO2 interfacial concentration gradient and its transfer …
