Air-Water Gas Transfer

A more complete understanding of the mechanisms involved in the exchange of gases between the atmosphere and the sea is needed if we are to address various environmental issues, and is essential to improved modeling of global climate. This volume contains selected papers from the Third International Symposium on Air-Water Gas Transfer, held at the University of Heidelberg, in Heidelberg, Germany from July 24-27, 1995. The papers are arranged into seven parts: Physical and Chemical Mechanisms, Waves and Turbulence, Breaking Waves and Bubbles, Measuring Technology, Laboratory Measurements and Facilities, Field Measurements, Remote Sensing, and Global Modeling. Emphasis is given to the transfer of carbon dioxide and other radiatively important gases, reflecting current interest in potential global warming. Breaking waves and the bubbles thereby generated play a prominent role in that regard. Also featured are non-invasive measurement technologies, many of which lend themselves to remote sensing applications. Those interested in chemical engineering, fluid mechanics, hydrology, hydraulics, environmental engineering, water quality engineering, climatology, meteorology, and oceanography will find this work a valuable resource

Energy: A special bibliography with indexes, April 1974

This literature survey of special energy and energy related documents lists 1708 reports, articles, and other documents introduced into the NASA scientific and technical information system between January 1, 1968, and December 31, 1973. Citations from International Aerospace Abstracts (IAA) and Scientific and Technical Aerospace Reports (STAR) are grouped according to the following subject categories: energy systems; solar energy; primary energy sources; secondary energy sources; energy conversion; energy transport, transmission, and distribution; and energy storage. The index section includes the subject, personal author, corporate source, contract, report, and accession indexes
