Air bubbles in water generated by the action of breaking waves, the impact on water of spray droplets, and by biological processes.

They range in size from some centimeters down to microns. Small bubbles in particular can be carried down to considerable depths, as their limiting rise velocity is smaller than the ambient vertical water motions, and provide a significant contribution to air–sea gas flux.
