Relationship of oceanic whitecap coverage to wind speed and wind history
Sea surface images obtained during the 2006 Marine Aerosol Production (MAP) campaign in the North East Atlantic were analysed for values of percentage whitecap coverage (K. Values of Ware presented for wind speeds Lip to circa 23 m s(.) (1). The W data were divided into two overlapping groups and a...
