--> McGillis, Edson, Terray Abstract Air-Sea Carbon Dioxide Fluxes and Surface Physical Processes Abstract We propose to study the air-sea flux of carbon dioxide and the surface physical processes controlling it during the Equatorial Pacific air-sea CO2 exchange experiment. Surface process variability including wind speed, wind stress, atmospheric stability, upper ocean mixing, and surface wave state will all be measured continuously with air-sea CO2 fluxes. These measurements will be performed from the autonomous air-sea interaction spar buoy ASIS to determine the role surface waves and turbulence play in limiting air-sea CO2 exchange, essential to advancing the capability for remote-sensing air-sea CO2 fluxes. This activity will provide a measure of the variability of air-sea CO2 fluxes with biogeochemical and physical processes.
