Mass transfer velocity across the breaking air–water interface at extremely high wind speeds

Koji Iwano, Naohisa Takagaki, Ryoichi Kurose and Satoru Komori. 2013. Mass transfer velocity across the breaking air–water interface at extremely high wind speeds. Tellus B 2013, 65, 21341, http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/tellusb.v65i0.21341

Three velocities of u*, U ₁₀ and U _∞ were mistakenly overestimated by 9~19% in the evasion experiments. The mass transfer velocity k _L and correct velocities listed in Table 1 should be used in all figures excluding figures 1 and 7. The correct correlations of eqs. (9), (10) and (11) between velocities and mass transfer velocity should be replaced by: 9 10 11

Fig. 10 Comparison of k _L against U _∞ between laboratory and field measurements. Symbols and lines as in Fig. 8. A solid line shows the correct correlation curve of eq. (11) normalized to Sc=660 for the present laboratory measurements.

Table 1. Mass transfer velocity and correct velocities

u* (m/s)	U 10 (m/s)	U ∞ (m/s)	k L (cm/h)
0.149	4.79	3.81	11.0
0.299	8.38	6.07	21.8
0.487	12.4	8.40	31.9
0.704	16.6	10.7	47.8
0.967	21.4	13.3	69.8
1.59	31.9	18.5	138
2.01	39.8	23.9	234
2.41	47.7	29.9	425
3.02	59.7	39.6	923

Eventually, the correlation between k _L and U _∞ almost corresponds to the correlation curve of Wanninkhof and McGillis (1999) at high wind speeds as shown in the correct figure 10.
