Dissolved Gases

Dissolved gases are critically important in many of the biogeochemical cycles of estuaries and coastal waters. However, only recently have there been large-scale collaborative efforts addressing the importance of coupling between estuaries and the atmosphere. For example, the Biogas Transfer in Estuaries (BIOGEST) project, which began in 1996, was focused on determining the distribution of biogases [CO2, CH4, CO, non-methane hydrocarbons, N2O, dimethyl sulfide (DMS), carbonyl sulfide (COS), volatile halogenated organic compounds, and some biogenic volatile metals] in European estuaries and their impact on global budgets (Frankignoulle and Middelburg, 2002). The role of the estuaries and other coastal ocean environments as global sources and/or sinks of key greenhouse gases, like CO2, have also been a subject of intense interest in recent years (Frankignoulle et al., 1996; Cai and Wang, 1998; Raymond et al., 1997, 2000; Cai, 2003; Wang and Cai, 2004). Similarly, O2 transfer across the air–water interface is critical for the survival of most aquatic organisms. Unfortunately, many estuaries around the world are currently undergoing eutrophication, which commonly results in low O2 concentrations (or hypoxic ≤ 2 mg L−1), due to excessive nutrient loading in these systems (Rabalais and Turner, 2001; Rabalais and Nixon, 2002). To understand how gases are transferred across the air–water boundary we will first examine the dominant atmospheric gases and physical parameters that control their transport and solubility in natural waters. The atmosphere is also composed of aerosols, which are defined as condensed phases of solid or liquid particles, suspended in state, that have stability to gravitational separation over a period of observation (Charlson, 2000). Chemical composition and speciation in atmospheric aerosols is important to understanding their behavior after deposition, and is strongly linked with the dominant sources of aerosols (e.g., windblown dust, seasalt, combustion). The importance of aerosol deposition to estuaries and coastal waters, via precipitation (rain and snow) and/or dry particle deposition, has received considerable attention in recent years. For example, dry and wet deposition of nutrients (Paerl et al., 2002; Pollman et al., 2002) and metal contaminants (Siefert et al., 1998; Guentzel et al., 2001) has proven to be significant in biogeochemical budgets in wetlands and estuaries.
