Measurement of the Sea Spray Droplet Size Distributions at High Winds

Abstract

The long-term goal is to use a phase-Doppler anemometer (PDA) for measuring size-segregated droplet concentrations and fluxes at high wind speeds in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) in order to understand the dynamics of droplets at high wind speeds.
