Luc DeikePrinceton UniversityThe role of bubbles entrained by breaking waves in gas exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean Physical processes at the ocean-atmosphere interface have a large effect on climate and weather by controlling the transfer of momentum and mass. When waves are breaking, the surface experiences dramatic changes, with sea spray ejection in the atmosphere and air entrainment into the ocean water. In this talk I will discuss bubble mediated gas exchange and its importance on gas fluxes, highlighting the importance of asymmetric exchange due to small bubbles trapped in the water for low solubility gases. We combine detailed laboratory experiments and numerical simulations on wave breaking, air entrainment and bubble processes in turbulent flows exploring the very large range of scales, from wave statistics scales of order of km, O(1m-1km), to wave breaking dynamics, O(1-10m), air bubble entrainment, bubble dynamics in turbulence, O(microns to mm). We propose a universal formulation of gas exchange which we implement into a global ocean-biogeochemical model. We discuss the resulting oxygen fluxes and demonstrate that our wind-wave-bubble formulation better reproduces observed in-situ oxygen concentrations in water mass formation regions – where air-sea exchange is high - than a commonly used wind-only formulation. Host: Leonel RomeroTime & Date: 11:00 am, Friday, February 14, 2025Place: Lowell Weicker Building, Seminar Room 103 (or Webex)Request Seminar InformationCancellation & Additional Seminar Details (https://marinesciences.uconn.edu/seminar/seminar1253/)If you are an individual with a disability and need accommodations, please contact 860-405-9152 (tel:+18604059152) or email marinesciencesseminars@uconn.edu (mailto:marinesciencesseminars@uconn.edu).  This is an Honors Event.* See tags below for categories. #UHLevent11060*This UHL Event # may only be used a maximum of three times for the purposes of meeting the requirements of the Honors Laureate.
