English

Subject field(s)
  • Ecology (General)
  • Physical Geography (General)
  • Atmospheric Physics
DEF

A surface regarded as the common boundary between air and water.

CONT

The interface between air and water exists not only as the boundary between two bulk phases(air/sea), but also as the boundary between dispersed and bulk phases(atmospheric droplet/air). Hence, the study of the thermodynamic properties of compounds at the air-water interface is of special relevance in atmospheric chemistry.

CONT

Transfer of heat, mass, and momentum across the air-water interface is a result of many physical, chemical, and biological factors that occur at the water surface.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Écologie (Généralités)
  • Géographie physique (Généralités)
  • Physique de l'atmosphère
DEF

Surface de séparation entre l'air et l'eau.

CONT

Le domaine planctonique mal délimité vers le bas où il s'imbrique avec le domaine benthique, et latéralement avec le domaine littoral, s'arrête brusquement à l'interface eau-air.

CONT

L'atmosphère interagit avec l'océan de multiples manières; il influence son contenu biologique et ses caractéristiques physico-chimiques; il provoque directement ou indirectement ses mouvements. Les échanges gazeux à l'interface air-eau de mer concernent aussi bien l'oxygène, le dioxyde de carbone que l'azote.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
CONT

Aqueous Chemistry.... This course emphasizes the chemical principles that control basic aqueous chemistry in marine systems. The focus of this course will be to show that the chemistry of the various elements in sea water can be understood as a consequence of basic general chemical concepts such as electron structure, chemical bonding, and group and periodic properties.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie
CONT

Chimie aqueuse des électrons de haute énergie. L'irradiation de l'eau pure par des électrons de haute énergie (H.E.) permet de générer des radicaux libres et/ou des particules dans un état électronique excité.
