Parameterization of oceanic whitecap fraction based on satellite observations

In this study, the utility of satellite-based whitecap fraction (<i>W</i>) data for the prediction of sea spray aerosol (SSA) emission rates is explored. More specifically, the study aims at evaluating how an account for natural variability of whitecaps in the <i>W</i> par...
