Flow field modified by a single large bubble in a horizontal wall turbulent boundary layer is measured by particle tracking velocimetry. We focus on intermediate bubble size being comparable to the thickness of boundary layer to find out the events altering the original turbulent shear stress field. The results are all presented by quantities relative to single-phase flow on Lagrangian coordinate that moves with the bubble. The measurement results reveal bubble-produced secondary flow around

For a small and nearly spherical bubble, the sweeping flow is provided strongly to enhance the turbulent momentum exchange while negative exchange is detected for a large flat bubble. This effective length approximately corresponds to the vertical size of the bubble.
