A Sea State–Dependent Spume Generation Function
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The uncertainty of the sea spray generation function continues to obscure spray-mediated momentum and scalar fluxes, especially for intense wind conditions. Most previous studies assume a constant form (spectral shape) for ...
Impact of Sea Spray on Air–Sea Fluxes. Part I: Results from Stochastic Simulations of Sea Spray Drops over the Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he contributions of sea spray drops to the total air?sea exchanges of momentum, heat, and mass remain an open question. A number of factors obscure any simple quantification of their contribution; the per drop contribution ...
Bulk Formulation of the Heat and Water Vapor Fluxes at the Air–Sea Interface, Including Nonmolecular Contributions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Accurate prediction of the air?sea sensible and latent heat fluxes is vital for nearly all applications of atmosphere and ocean models. Existing theories of heat transfer over rough surfaces provide a starting point, but ...
Impact of Sea Spray on Air–Sea Fluxes. Part II: Feedback Effects
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper presents estimations for the transfer of momentum, heat, and water mass between the air and the sea. The results from Lagrangian stochastic simulations of sea spray drops (see Part I), along with two sea spray ...
