 Proceedings of the Per Bruun Symposium . Newport, Rhode Island, International

 Research, Western Washington University, Bellingham, Washington, pp 67-78. 



Allison evaluated the accuracy of Bruun's formula and considered the 

 effect of shoreward and seaward slopes of the profiles. This paper critically 

 analyzes the application of Bruun's theory used by Schwartz (1965, 1967); 

 Dubois (1975, 1976, and 1977), and Rosen (1978). (Gorman). 



002 ANEJA, V. P., and OVERTON, J. H. 1989. "Emission Rate of Dimethyl 

 Sulfide at the Atmospheric - Oceanic Interface and Its Role in Global Climate 

 Change," Magoon, O.T., Converse, H., Miner, D., Tobin, L.T. and Clark, D., 

 eds.. Proceedings of Coastal Zone '89 . American Society of Civil Engineers,

Dimethyl sulfide appears to be present everywhere in the surface ocean, 

 is readily transferred into the marine atmosphere, and may account for about 

 30% of the natural component of the overall sulfur budget. To investigate the 

 apparent discrepancy between measured DMS fluxes and theoretical predictions, 

 the authors have examined the transport of DMS across the marine -atmosphere 

 interface and analyzed its emission dependence on climatic variables. An 

 analysis of vertical flux was performed with the two-film model for the 

 transport of DMS across the marine -atmosphere interface with chemical 

 reactions. Photo-oxidation of DMS and its reaction with H2O2 in the aqueous 

 film, and chemical reactions of DMS with nitrate and hydroxyl radicals in the 

 gas film indicate negligible effect on the DMS flux to the marine atmosphere. 

 However, the flux of DMS into the atmosphere is most sensitive to the liquid 

 film thickness and not so to changes in temperature and gas film thickness. 

 Model calculations showed that if the liquid film thickness increases from 35, 

 25 fig (turbulent sea conditions) to 200 fim (calm sea conditions) , the flux of 

 DMS reduces from 290 to 55 pg (s)/mVday. Estimates are made of DMS gaseous 

 oxidation products as a possible source of cloud condensation nuclei to 

 ascertain increased aerosol albedo over the ocean, which may then lead to 

 global climate change. (Modified Abstract). 



003 AUBREY, D. G. and EMERY, K. 0. 1986. "Relative Sea-Levels of Japan 

 from Tide-Gage Records," Geological Society of American Bulletin , pp 194-205. 



We attempted to separate tectonic, oceanographic, and eustatic 

 components of change in relative sea- levels derived from the many tide -gage 

 records of Japan acquired over the past fifty years. Both regression and 

 eigenanalysis showed systematic spatial differences in relative sea- level rise 

 that reach about 20 mm/year, far too much to be solely eustatic in origin. 

 The low- frequency patterns are closely related to those expected from
