Important Contributing Factors for Estimating the Active and Total Whitecap Coverage Globally Using Satellite-Derived Parameters

This study identifies the major contributing factors in estimating whitecap coverage globally from satellite observations. Power law functions for estimating both the active and total whitecap coverage from in situ observations are derived using U10 (in situ winds) and U10EN (satellite-reported equi...
