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 …

Ocean spray consists of small water droplets ejected from the ocean surface following
surface breaking wave events. These drops get transported in the marine atmospheric …

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 …

This paper describes the results of an experimental and theoretical investigation into the
mechanisms by which spume droplets are generated by high winds. The experiments were …

A bulk air–sea flux algorithm couples the ocean and the lower atmosphere through flux
boundary conditions and can be used in various analyses and in numerical models. The …

The intensity of tropical cyclones is sensitive to the air–sea fluxes of enthalpy and
momentum. Sea spray plays a critical role in mediating enthalpy and momentum fluxes over …

We investigate the effects of wind–wave interactions on the surface sea-spray-generation
flux. To this end, the Marine Aerosol Tunnel Experiment (MATE2019) was conducted at the …

Hurricanes are fueled by evaporation and convection from the ocean and they lose energy
through the frictional drag of the atmosphere on the ocean surface. The relative rates of …

Airtanker firefighting is the most spectacular tool used to fight wildland fires. However, it
employs a rudimentary large-scale spraying technology operating at a high speed and a …
