Description for Ocean Waves Breaking and Marine Aerosol Fluxes
hardcover. Provides knowledge on breaking waves and their influence on generation of marine fluxes from the ocean surfaces. This book explores the following relationships chain: breaking waves; whitecaps coverage; rate of wave energy dissipation; and amount of aerosol fluxes rising from a given sea basin, and its possible seasonal variations. Series: Atmospheric and Oceanographic Sciences Library. Num Pages: 332 pages, biography. BIC Classification: RBKC. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 156 x 20. Weight in Grams: 1450.
The atmosphere and the ocean form a coupled system which exchanges heat, momentum and water at the air–sea interface. The interface is dynamic and masses and energy are continually transferred across the air–sea interface. The energy ?ow from the atmosphere to the ocean generates an aerodynamically rough sea surface. If the energy ?ow is su?ciently intense, at some points the surface waves will lose their stability and eventually break. Breaking is a very localized and non-stationary phenomenon that is a source of vorticity and turbulence. Dissipated energy becomes available for mixing the water layers and for whitecapping of various scales. ... Read more

Reviews for Ocean Waves Breaking and Marine Aerosol Fluxes
From the reviews: "Massel’s new book describes how to model wave breaking and continues on to show how to use breaking wave models to estimate the production rate of the sea-salt aerosol at the ocean’s surface. … I like the production quality of this book. It has a comfortable size, pleasing font style and size, and sufficient white ... Read more
