Air-sea Transfer Mediated by Spray

Abstract

The goal is to investigate, theoretically and through analyzing existing data, the role that sea spray plays in transferring heat and moisture across the air-sea interface. Ultimately, we hope to develop simple parameterizations for these air-sea fluxes for use in large-scale models.
