We discuss the coupling processes between surface gravity waves and adjacent winds and
currents in turbulent boundary layers. These processes mediate exchanges of momentum …

When wind blows over the ocean, short wind-waves (of wavelength smaller than 10 m) are
generated, rapidly reaching an equilibrium with the overlying turbulence (at heights lower …

The sea surface microlayer (SML) is the boundary interface between the atmosphere and
ocean, covering about 70% of the Earth's surface. With an operationally defined thickness …

Moving Waves in: Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences Volume 71 Issue 11 (2014) Jump to …

The laboratory experiments on investigation of aerodynamic resistance of the waved water
surface under severe wind conditions (up to U10≈ 40 ms− 1) were carried out …

Sea spray droplets are known to enhance the fluxes of momentum, heat, and mass at the air‐
sea interface. Evaluating these fluxes depends in part on the so‐called “spray generation …

We use direct numerical simulation of stress-driven turbulent Couette flows over waving
surfaces to study turbulence in the vicinity of water waves. Mechanistic study is performed …

We study wind turbulence over breaking waves based on direct numerical simulation (DNS)
of two-fluid flows. In the DNS, the air and water are simulated as a coherent system, with the …

The small-scale physics within the first centimetres above the wavy air–sea interface are the
gateway for transfers of momentum and scalars between the atmosphere and the ocean. We …
