Measurement of the Sea Spray Droplet Size Distributions at High Winds

Abstract

Our long-term goals are to develop phase-Doppler anemometry 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.
