Or by the rate at which the bubbles ascend? Does that vary with scaling?
From the water clinging to the sides, it seems like a fairly small box (a metre across maybe?)

@El'endiaStarman that was my first thought, but there might be other methods.

bubble size might not help me here
I thought I'd just quickly check if bubble speed scales with area or volume, but it turns out it's not so simple...
flawr
@PhiNotPi watch a falling droplet and use the acceleration?
