Das Projekt "ASGAMAGE, das ASGASEXMAGE-Experiment" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Max-Planck-Institut für Chemie (Otto-Hahn-Institut) durchgeführt. Objective 1: To find relationships between the transport coefficients for the gas fluxes and any relevant geophysical parameters. Objective 2: To intercompare different methods and systems to measure the transfer velocity of trace gases over the sea. Objective 3: To find out whether and, if at all, under what conditions, there can be significant carbon dioxide stratification in the upper meters of the water column. Objective 4: To test new methods and new equipment for the measurement of air-sea fluxes of CO2, N2O, CH4 and DMS. Prime Contractor: Koninklijk Nederlands Meteorologisch Instituut, Section Oceanographic Research; De Bilt; Netherlands.
