Importance of the film formation at the air/sea interface for the transport and production of trace gases
![FILGAS-Logo](files/che/ag-co2/filgas.gif)
The properties of interphase boundaries in marine environment determinde the transport of matter between the different compartments. At the same time these interfaces provide physico-chemical conditions for prefered photochemical and microbiological transformations. In order o study the impact of organic surface active material on the inhibition of gas exchange and on the production of trace gases a project was initiated, which concentrates the studies of marine and atmospheric physico- and analytical chemists, physicists and microbiologists in four subprojects:
- Subproject 1: Kinetics of film formation and impact on the diffucion of trace gases
(IO Warnemuende, Uni Rostock) - Subproject 2: Chemical characterization and reaction in surface films
(IO Warnemuende, IfT Leipzig) - Subproject 3: Microbiological production of trace gases
(IO Warnemuende, IFM-GEOMAR Kiel) - Subproject 4: Microphysical model for exchange processes through film-covered surfaces
(IO Warnemuende)
Our working group is involved in two subprojects:
- Subproject 1 (Bernd Schneider, Robert Schmidt, Jacek Beldowski)
- Subproject 4 (Christoph Zuelicke)
