Abstract

Static floating chambers (FCs) and thin boundary layer (TBL) modelling were compared for estimating CH4 fluxes across the water-air interface in aquaculture ponds in southeastern China. The surface water CH4 concentrations ranged from 0.4 to 9.1 μmol L-1 and averaged 4.8 ± 0.8 μmol L-1. The ponds we...

Abstract: Static floating chambers (FCs) and thin boundary layer (TBL) modelling were compared for estimating CH4 fluxes across the water-air interface in aquaculture ponds in southeastern China. The surface water CH4 concentrations ranged from 0.4 to 9.1 μmol L-1 and averaged 4.8 ± 0.8 μmol L-1. The ponds were a persistent source of CH4 to the atmosphere. Mean CH4 flux based on different TBL models was highly variable and ranging between 19 and316 μmol m-2 h-1. Compared against FCs, three TBL models developed for the open sea, flowing estuarine system and lentic ecosystem overestimated CH4 emission by 40–200%, while the wind tunnel-based TBL model underestimated CH4 emission. Two TBL models developed for lakes gave estimates similar to FCs.
