🌊🚨 New study! Beyond wind speed: what really controls air–sea gas exchange?
A Baltic Sea study shows COâ‚‚ transfer can be ~30% lower than in the open ocean due to
👉 limited fetch → smaller waves
👉 surfactants dampen turbulence
Surface conditions matter!

When we think about what drives air-sea gas exchange (such as CO2), wind usually gets all the credit. Strong winds stir the surface, enhance turbulence, and speed up gas transfer. But a new study in A...
