Predictions of our future climate vary greatly, with detailed
forecasts still subject to debate. One key uncertainty is caused by
the lack of our present knowledge of transport processes in the
air-water interface, which poses the main transfer resistance
between the oceans and atmosphere. Modeling and predictions of our
global climate can only be improved by gaining a more complete
understanding of the mechanisms involved in transporting energy,
mass and momentum across the phase boundary.
This monograph contains selected, peer-reviewed post-conference
contributions of the International Workshop on Transport at the
Air-Sea Interface, which took place at Heidelberg University from
September 6-8, 2006. The workshop brought together leading
scientists from around the world, bridged the gap between modeling
and measurements, and sparked new ideas for novel simulation and
experimental efforts. The focus of the monograph is on small scale
processes directly at the interface and includes the topics:
- Small-scale transport processes at the air-sea interface:
surface divergence, microscale and largescale wave breaking,
intermittency and rain-induced gas exchange
- Novel measurement techniques including eddy correlation
measurements, active and passive thermography, visualization of
concentration fields by fluorescent dyes, profile measurements and
visualization of flow fields by particle imaging velocimetry
(PIV)
- Modeling of the transport across the air-water interface and
simulation of flow fields as well as concentration fields in the
boundary layer
- Parameterizations of the transfer process for global
modeling
