Analysis of Infrared Measurements of Microbreaking and Whitecaps

Abstract

The objectives are to use passive infrared techniques to determine the influence of wave breaking on surface roughness modulation relevant to radar backscatter and to develop active IR techniques relevant to turbulent fluxes of momentum and heat.
