Theoretical and numerical study of air entrainment and bubble size distribution in strong free-surface turbulent flow at large Froude and Weber number
Strong turbulence near an air-water interface, characterized by large Froude (Fr) and Weber number (We), leads to significant interactions and exchanges between gas and liquid, resulting in measurable air entrainment. Air entrainment influences a number of physical processes in the nature, …

Measurements of sub-surface bubble populations and the modelling of air-sea gas flux
… by breaking waves, play an important role in the transfer of gases between the Earth’s oceans and atmosphere and have been shown to increase the flux of gases during periods of heightened sea state. Having been<br/>formed, these bubble clouds evolve through the effects of buoyancy, gas exsolution …

The biogeochemistry and residual mean circulation of the southern ocean
… of the Southern Ocean in order to study the air-sea fluxes of trace gases and biological productivity and their potential changes over glacial-interglacial timescales. Mesoscale eddy transfers play a dominant role in the dynamical and tracer balances in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, and …

An experimental study of air entrainment by breaking waves
… charge the surface layer of the ocean with small air bubbles which play an important role in air-sea gas transfer and in underwater acoustics near the ocean surface. This work reports on a series of laboratory and field experiments on the measurement on air entrainment by breaking waves. The first …

Air-sea CO2 cycling in the southeastern Beaufort Sea
… was conducted to examine the couplings between sea ice, ocean, atmosphere, and ecosystem in the southeastern Beaufort Sea. This thesis examines components of the system that control the air–sea exchange of carbon dioxide. Using eddy covariance measurements, we found enhanced CO2 exchange …
