Wave Induced Turbulence and Bubbles and their Effect on Radiance in the Upper Ocean
Abstract
The main objectives of this study where 1) to develop the necessary technology to allow for in-situ measurements of bubble size distributions over a wide range of bubble sizes and with sufficient temporal and air-fraction resolution to investigate the role of bubbles on upper ocean radiance, 2) develop and test methods and algorithms to obtain bubble size distributions from such instrumentation, 3) to make comparisons between different bubble measurement techniques (acoustical and optical) to investigate strengths and limitations , 4) to make observations of bubbles clouds at a range of atmospheric and oceanographic conditions, and 5) to make measurements of ocean microlayer surfactants to investigate their role in modulating the bubble field.
