Vertical profiles of giant particles close above the sea surface.:
Size distributions of giant sea-spray particles (10-100 micrometer diameter) were measured in the North Atlantic with an impaction method, at heights of 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 11 m above instantaneous sea level. The vertical distributions of the particle concentrations show as characteristic feat...
