Oceanic whitecap coverage measured during UK-SOLAS cruises

The breaking of wind-generated waves plays asignificant role in the exchanges of momentum, heat,water vapour, and gas between the atmosphere and theocean. Breaking waves entrain air into the surface waterforming bubbles, which manifests itself as a whitecap onthe ocean surface. Whitecap measurements...
