Accurate parameterizations of the air-sea fluxes of CO2 into the Southern Ocean, in particular at high wind velocity, are needed to better assess how projections of global climate warming in a windier world could affect the ocean carbon uptake, and alter the ocean heat budget at high latitudes. Air-sea fluxes of momentum, sensible and latent heat (water vapor) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are to be measured continuously underway on cruises using micrometeorological eddy covariance techniques adapted to ship-board use. The measured gas transfer velocity (K) is then to be related to other parameters known to affect air-sea-fluxes. A stated goal of this work is the collection of a set of direct air-sea flux measurements at high wind speeds, conditions where parameterization of the relationship of gas exchange to wind-speed remains contentious. The studies will be carried out at sites in the Southern Ocean using the USAP RV Nathaniel B Palmer as measurment platform. Co-located pCO2 data, to be used in the overall analysis and enabling internal consistency checks, are being collected from existing underway systems aboard the USAP research vessel under other NSF awards.

需要对进入南大洋的二氧化碳的海气通量，特别是在高风速下的海气通量进行准确的参数化，以便更好地评估在多风世界中预测全球气候变暖如何影响海洋碳吸收，并改变高纬度海洋热量收支。 将在航行中使用适合船上使用的微气象学涡动协方差技术连续测量动量、感热和潜热（水蒸气）以及二氧化碳（CO2）的海气通量。然后将测量的气体传输速度（K）与已知影响海气通量的其他参数相关联。这项工作的一个明确目标是收集一套在高风速下的直接海气通量测量数据，在这种情况下，气体交换与风速的关系的参数化仍然存在争议。这些研究将在南大洋的地点进行，使用USAP RV Nathaniel B Palmer作为测量平台。 位于同一地点的pCO2数据将用于整体分析和内部一致性检查，这些数据是根据NSF的其他奖项从USAP研究船上现有的正在进行的系统中收集的。
