报告内容简介: Over the last century the atmospheric concentration of methane, has risen approximately 1% per year. The reasons for this trend are not completely understood since the global sources and sinks of methane still need quantification. Quantification of gaseous methane in aquatic ecosystems is a complex task due to large spatial and temporal variability of the gas emission events. As a result, there is a gap in knowledge about the contribution of gas ebullition to the total methane flux from sediments in shallow lakes and reservoirs. This information is necessary to determine what portion of deposited organic carbon is utilized by methanogenic bacteria, to evaluate the fate of bubbles in the water column, and the amount of methane that ultimately reaches the atmosphere. In contrast to conventional gas traps and optical methods, hydroacoustic technology allows rapid scanning over large volumes of the water column synoptically, quantifying bubble gas abundance, calculating bubble rise velocity, and bubble volumes. Data obtained from hydroacoustic surveys on Lake Kinneret (Israel) allowed estimating the gaseous methane fluxes from sediments, computing its dissolution in the water column and transfer to the atmosphere. In aquatic ecosystems with highly variable water levels, gas ebullition is an important mechanism responsible for rapid methane transfer from the bottom to the atmosphere.
