Short summary
We modeled how gas seeping from the seafloor spreads in the ocean and how much reaches the atmosphere. Using gas-exchange and hydrodynamic models, we estimated gas dissolution, atmospheric release, and 3D concentration fields. Applied to a methane seep offshore Norway, most methane dissolved and much was consumed by microbes, though uncertainties remain due to microbial and mixing assumptions.
