Abstract: The effects of non-breaking surface waves on upper ocean dynamics enter the wave-averaged primitive equations through the Stokes drift. Through the resulting upper ocean dynamics, Stokes drift is a catalyst for the fluxes ...

Abstract: ea spray aerosols represent a large fraction of the aerosols present in the maritime environment. Despite evidence of the importance of surface wave? and wave breaking?related processes in coupling the ocean with the ...

Abstract: AbstractIt is now well accepted that to better understand the coupling between the atmosphere and the ocean, and improve coupled ocean?atmosphere models, surface wave processes need to be taken into account. Here, properties ...

Abstract: n 31 December 2012, an instrumented autonomous surface vehicle (ASV; Wave Glider) transiting across the Pacific from Hawaii to Australia as part of the Pacific Crossing (PacX) project came very close (46 km) to the center ...

Abstract: The uppermost layers of the ocean, along with the lower atmospheric boundary layer, play a crucial role in the air?sea fluxes of momentum, heat, and mass, thereby providing important boundary conditions for both the ...

Abstract: ave?current interaction can result in significant inhomogeneities of the ocean surface wave field, including modulation of the spectrum, wave breaking rates, and wave statistics. This study presents novel airborne observations ...

Abstract: n analysis of coherent measurements of winds and waves from data collected during the Office of Naval Research (ONR) High-Resolution air?sea interaction (HiRes) program, from the Floating Instrument Platform (R/P FLIP), ...

Abstract: easurements from the Campbell CSAT3 and Gill R3-50 anemometers were conducted in four different experiments, in laboratory and field environments. Consistent differences between these two sonic anemometers were observed. ...
