Fig. 9. Gas phase mass fraction of CO2 and gas velocity in the coupled subsurface–surface-layer model domain 6 mo after CO2 seepage begins for reference velocity of (a) u = 1 m s–1, and (b) u = 5 m s–1. (c) Liquid saturation and (d) mass fraction of CO2 in the liquid with water velocity for infiltration of 10 cm yr–1 (largest water velocity vector {approx} 2 x 10–8 m s–1).
