✦ Synopsis
Mean carbon dioxide concentratio~grad~ents were measured continuously for a period of three weeks during December 1978 at Tiana Beach, Long Island, with onshore atmospheric flows. The height interval was 20 m and the fetch over the sandy beach for onshore flows was about 20 m for low tides and near zero for high tides. Measurements at the beach were thus approximately representative of over-ocean atmospheric flows. Concentration differences for this height interval were found to vary from 0.75 to 2 ppm. Approximate computations indicated this local gradient to be about two orders of magnitude greater than the values estimated from global means.
