Ocean Waves Breaking and Marine Aerosol Fluxes - Stanislaw R. Massel

This book will cover the existing gap in knowledge on breaking waves and their influence on generation of marine fluxes from the ocean surfaces. The following relationships chain is explored in detail: breaking waves - whitecaps coverage - rate of wave energy dissipation - amount of aerosol fluxes rising from a given sea basin, and its possible seasonal variations is explored in detail. TOC:Introduction.- Mechanics of Steep and Breaking Waves.- Statistical Properties of Ocean Waves.- Experimental insights into Mechanisms of Wave Breaking.- Wave Beraking Criteria and Probability of Breaking.- Energy Dissipation Due to Wave Breaking in Deep Waters.- Whitecaps Coverage on the Sea Surface.- Estimation of Aerosol Fluxes in Deep Water.- Seasonal Variation of Aerosol Fluxes in the Baltic Sea.- Appendices.
