Fig. 3 Mass transfer velocity k L against wind speed at 10 m height U 10.
Fig. 4 Mass transfer velocity k L against free-stream wind speed U ∞.
Fig. 5 Air-friction velocity u* against free-stream wind speed U ∞.
Fig. 6 Volume flux of dispersing droplets V OUT against air-friction velocity u*.
Fig. 7 Mean height of significant waves H s against air-friction velocity u*.
Fig. 8 Comparison of k L between laboratory and field measurements against u*. Data from this study (laboratory, CO2, solid squares), McGillis et al. (Citation2001) (field, CO2, open squares), McGillis et al. (Citation2004) (field, CO2, open triangles), Jacobs et al. (Citation2002) (field, CO2, open circles), McNeil and D'Asaro (Citation2007) (field, O2 and N2, open diamonds). A dashed line, a dotted line and a dashed-dotted line show the conventional k L correlation curves proposed by Wanninkhof (Citation1992), Wanninkhof and McGillis (Citation1999) and Wanninkhof et al. (Citation2009) respectively.
