Dynamic Effects of Airborne Water Droplets on Air-Sea Interactions: Sea-Spray and Rain

Abstract

We anticipate that this research will lead to an improved understanding of water droplet mediated air-sea fluxes with implications in basic research, satellite or land-based remote sensing of the ocean surface, electromagnetic communication, military surveillance, and weather forecasting. We foresee that this work will become the initial stages of a long-term effort involving further development of theoretical work, and laboratory and field experiments.
