Breaking waves modulate the transfer of energy, momentum, and mass between the ocean
and atmosphere, controlling processes critical to the climate system, from gas exchange of …

We investigate air entrainment and bubble statistics in three-dimensional breaking waves
through novel direct numerical simulations of the two-phase air–water flow, resolving the …

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 …

Plastics and spilled oil pose a critical threat to marine life and human health. As a result of
wind forcing and wave motions, theoretical and laboratory studies predict very strong …

We investigate the influence of capillary effects on wave breaking through direct numerical
simulations of the Navier–Stokes equations for a two-phase air–water flow. A parametric …

The transfer of gases at the ocean‐atmosphere interface impacts weather and climate from
local to global scales, with carbon dioxide (CO2) key to marine life and ecosystems, and …

Short-crested breaking waves that result from directionally spread wave conditions dissipate
energy and generate turbulence within the surf zone, altering sediment transport processes …

The Arctic marginal ice zone (MIZ), where strong interactions between sea ice, ocean and
atmosphere take place, is expanding as the result of ongoing sea ice retreat. Yet, state-of …
