Laboratory Investigation of Air-Sea Interfacial Properties in Relation to Gas Exchange and Remote Sensing

Abstract

Our long range goals for this project are to: 1) understand the effect of various physical and chemical properties of the air-sea interface on gas exchange, and 2) characterize the sea surface texture and turbulent boundary layers. These studies will provide a basis for future work on the active and passive microwave remote sensing of the sea surface and the estimation of surface wind vectors and gas transfer velocities from such information.
