The presented software application allows GUI-based access to the bubble dissolution model presented by McGinnis et al. [McGinnis, D.F., Greinert, J., Artemov, Y., Beaubien, S.E., Wüest, A., 2006. The fate of rising methane bubbles in stratified waters: what fraction reaches the atmosphere? Journal of Geophysical Research 111, C09007. doi:10.1029/2005JC003183]. It quantifies the dissolution of gas bubbles (containing any combination of CH4, CO2, O2, N2, and Ar) in marine or lacustrine environments based on the initial bubble size, free gas composition and environmental parameters (temperature, salinity, and dissolved gas concentrations). The software enables scientists and engineers to evaluate bubble dynamics in a simple way on Windows® PCs. |
