The variability and forcing of ocean whitecaps and their impact on air-sea fluxes
The breaking of ocean surface gravity waves is an important phenomenon that affects the dynamics of the upper ocean, development of the wave field, and air-sea exchange processes. As the surface expression of this process, whitecaps provide a visible signature of wave breaking; their areal extent pe...
