Surface renewal models based on wave induced drift currents are proposed to explain gas absorption data in deep tanks. A model assuming plug surface flow was found to best represent the available data for the absorption of carbon dioxide, oxygen, propylene, and helium into water. Velocities obtained by fitting the mass transfer data agree with experimental velocities obtained from dye studies.
