Variability of the Sea Surface Microlayer Across a Filament’s Edge and Potential Influences on Gas Exchange

Major uncertainties in air-sea gas flux parameterizations may arise from a yet unpredictable sea surface microlayer (SML). Its influence on gas exchange is twofold as organic matter, in particular surfactants, on one side and organisms enriched in the SML on the other can alter air-sea gas fluxes. H...
