A study of air-sea gas exchange in coastal waters was conducted in July of 1997 as part of the Coastal Ocean Processes (CoOP) program. The research was conducted during a three week cruise that took place in the coastal waters south of Cape Cod to just inside the Gulf Stream's northern wall. The instrumentation deployed during the cruise is being used to understand the role of atmospheric, oceanic and interfacial processes on air-sea gas exchange. The measurements were made from ship-based instrumentation and from a newly developed remotely operated research catamaran. The ship-based systems included an infrared camera system capable of estimating the air-sea gas exchange and a meteorological package to estimate the momentum, heat and moisture exchange. Vertical profiles of dimethylsulfide were measured on both the ship and catamaran by trapping and determining the concentrations using a GC. These profiles provide additional estimates of the gas flux using the profile method. The catamaran was outfitted with systems to quantify the surface wave characteristics using a scanning laser slope gauge and a wave-wire array, and an additional meteorological package to quantify the near surface atmospheric turbulence. A fluorometer was used to the colored dissolved organic matter in the microlayer and in the bulk as a means to quantify the surface chemical concentrations. Subsurface instrumentation included a series of acoustic current meters to measure the near surface current profile and various turbulence statistics. A number of papers will be given to present the preliminary analyses from these integrated measurements
