The dissolved oxygen is a major factor influencing the water quality of a water body. The gas exchange rate determines the speed that the low soluble gases, including dissolved oxygen, transfer from atmosphere to water. The wind-driven gas exchange rate model is important for the water quality modeling in water bodies such as lakes and estuaries when the wind is the predominant factor. Although empirical formulae have been developed for wind-driven gas exchange rate, they cannot explain the mechanisms of wind-driven gas exchange rate. The empir...
