Gas exchange rates have been determined in the tidal Hudson River by injecting 2 inert gases, 3 He and sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ) and monitoring their decline with time. Their distributions along the main axis of the river were approximately gaussian and maximum concentrations of excess 3 He and SF 6 observed during each transect decreased from about 6500 × 10 -16 cm 3 STP g -1 and 250 ppt (part per trillion by volume), respectively, to values close to atmospheric equilibrium concentrations over a period of 16 days. Throughout the experiment, vertical gradients in tracer concentration were observed. After 3 days of mixing, tracer concentrations in bottom samples were 0–19% greater than in surface samples. Gas transfer velocities were calculated from the temporal change in the depth averaged excess 3 He/SF 6 ratio from stations having maximum tracer concentrations. They ranged from 1.5 to 9.0 cm h -1 and correlated well with mean wind speed. DOI: 10.1034/j.1600-0889.1994.t01-2-00003.x
