The Southern Ocean Gas Exchange Experiment (SO GasEx) is the third in a series of US-led open ocean process studies aimed at quantifying air-sea gas exchange.So far,two large-scale studies have been conducted,one in the North Atlantic (GasEx-98) and one in the Equatorial Pacific (GasEx-2001).As with the previous process studies,SO GasEx will be a multi-investigator driven and multi-agency funded effort.SO GasEx is planned for the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean in austral summer/fall of 2008.The main objectives of the experiment are to improve quantification of: 1) Gas transfer velocity in a high wind environment; and 2) Air-sea CO2 fluxes in a region of globally significant CO2 flux.The ultimate goal of these efforts is to be able to quantify gas transfer velocities on regional scale from remote sensing such that,when combined with regional ΔpCO2,global air-sea CO2 fluxes can be determined.
