Wind-Turbulence-Wave Interactions

Abstract

The long-terms goals of the research are to understand and parameterize the physics of air-sea interaction, and in particular wind-wave interaction. The effort is primarily experimental, based on measurements over the sea under a variety of wind-wave conditions. Applications are to EO propagation and scintillation over the ocean.
