Upper Meter Processes: Short Wind Waves, Surface Flow, and Microturbulence

Abstract

The primary goal of this project is to advance the knowledge of small-scale air-sea interaction processes at the ocean surface, focussing on the dynamics of short waves, the surface flow field and the micro-turbulence. A better understanding of the physics of these waves will also benefit the study of electromagnetic backscattering from the sea surface.
