Acetone Transfer Subject to Airside +Waterside Resistance- Estimation of kw by Difference
Ka : Total transfer velocity ka : Airside transfer velocitykw : Waterside transfer velocityα : Dimensionless solubility
At HiWinGs mean U10n of 12 m/s, we get:
kw = 9.1±4.3 cm/hr, normalized to Scw = 660
kw660 = 15.9±7.4 cm/hr
kw =1/(α(1/Ka – 1/ka))

Conclusions thus far from HiWinGS [Yang et al. accepted in JGR Oceans]
• Turbulent transfer of momentum, sensible heat, methanol, and acetone largely follow expected trends up to U ~20 m/s– Reduction in heat/organics transfer in higher winds, possibly related to sea
spray/precipitation?
• Airside transfer velocity (ka) from methanol lower than that of sensible heat– Explained by difference in airside diffusivity
• Waterside transfer velocity (kw) indirectly estimated from measurements of acetone transfer – Close to previous estimates of kDMS (tangential transfer)
– Much lower than kw of less soluble gases

OutlookExpand the range of proxy tracers measured
to better understand physical processes
– Sparingly soluble• Carbon monoxide
(Blomquist et al. AMT, 2012)
• Terpenes?
– Intermediate solubility
• Acetaldehyde (Yang et al. ACP 2014)
• Organohalogens?
– Surface reactive• Ozone (e.g. Bariteau et
al. 2011)• Sulfur dioxide (e.g.
Faloona et al. 2010)

Outlook (cont’)Remote sensing of other factors that control k
(Coincident to in situ multi-gas k measurements)
1. Satellite altimeter backscattering more directly related to surface turbulence than wind speed– EC kDMS correlated to Ku band backscattering; better correlation with difference
between Ku band and C band (Goddijn-Murphy et al. 2012, 2013)– How to increase overlap between altimetry data and in situ k observation?
• Copernicus programme: Sentinel-3 mission• Aircraft? Geostationary satellite?
OSSPRE CruiseU. Heidelberg, U. Washington
2. Mean squared wave slope• Scanning laser slope gauge (e.g. Bock
and Hara, 1995; Frew et al 2004)
• Reflective stereo slope gauge & medium angle slope gauge (e.g. Kiefhaber et al 2011)
• Accounts for surfactant effect
