| Abstract |
By using a two-layer model of the air-sea interface, it is argued that the possible effect of surface films in modifying gas exchange across the interface should be much greater for gases whose transfer is controlled by processes in the gas phase (H2 O, SO2 , NO2 ), than for those whose exchange is under liquid phase control (N2 , O2 , CO2 and the inert gases). However, unless the film material is close packed into a coherent monolayer or consists of a thick multi-layer, significant transfer retardation is unlikely for gases of either type. |
