A Novel High-Resolution Optical Instrument for Imaging Oceanic Bubbles
The formation of bubbles from breaking waves has a significant effect on air–sea gas transfer and aerosol production. Detailed data in situ about the bubble populations are required to understand these processes. However, these data are difficult to acquire because bubble populations are complex, sp...
