Oxygen Profiles Across the Sea-Surface Microlayer—Effects of Diffusion and Biological Activity

Gas exchange across the air-water interface is strongly influenced by the uppermost water layer (< 1 mm), the sea-surface microlayer (SML). However, a clear understanding about how the distinct physicochemical and biological properties of the SML affect gas exchange is lacking. We used an aut...
