Regional-Scale Ozone Deposition to North-East Atlantic Waters

Figure 3

Box-model-derived relationship between deposition velocity and sea-surface temperature, using a typical Atlantic wind speed of 8 m s^-1 and reactivity of 500 s^-1. The solid line depicts a relationship between deposition velocity and SST when only temperature dependence of ozone solubility in seawater is considered based on the theory of Kosak-Channing and Helz [34]. The filled circles represent a relationship between deposition velocity and SST when temperature dependence of both ozone solubility and molecular diffusivity in seawater is considered. Variation of ozone diffusivity in seawater is based on the theory of Johnson and Davis [30] and Jahne et al. [31]. Linear correlations between ozone deposition velocity and SST are given in the legend.
