WG B2: Water Column Transport and _Air-Sea Fluxes Cost Action PERGAMON Kick Off, Bruxelles, Nov , Gas transport through the water column Dissolution and gas invasion Impact of oil and organic films Plume dynamics Saturation potential (Lakes, Lake Nyos scenario) Various gas migration models with still large differences in parameterization (McGinnes, Leifer, Zhang and Yapa…) Streamlining Gap in experimental parameterization? Plume model characteristics usually not straightforward We are dealing with shallow waters, so is it an issue for a time-averaged flux, or just for annual pulsing? Behavior of gas trapped under ice
