Sea Spray Generation in Very High Winds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: uantifying the amount and rate of sea spray production at the ocean surface is critical to understanding the effect spray has on atmospheric boundary layer processes (e.g., tropical cyclones). Currently, only limited ...
Quantifying Highly Variable Air–Sea Momentum Flux Using Wavelet Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractSurface wind stress is a crucial driver of upper-ocean processes, impacting air?sea gas flux, wind-wave development, and material transport. Conventional eddy covariance (EC) processing requires imposing a fixed ...
Passive Optical Sensing of the Near-Surface Wind-Driven Current Profile
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: stimation of near-surface current is essential to the estimation of upper-ocean material transport. Wind forcing and wave motions are dominant in the near-surface layer [within O(0.01) m of the surface], where the highly ...
