TECHNIQUE ESTIMATING SEA SPRAY PRODUCTION RATE FOR GLOBAL CLIMATE MODELS FROM SATELLITE-DERIVED MEASURES OF OCEANIC WHITECAP COVERAGE

TECHNIQUE ESTIMATING SEA SPRAY PRODUCTION RATE FOR GLOBAL CLIMATE MODELS FROM SATELLITE-DERIVED MEASURES OF OCEANIC WHITECAP COVERAGE

By combining laboratory-determined values for the number of sea spray droplets, per increment of droplet radius, that are produced during the decay of an oceanic whitecap of initial unit surface area, and values determined from both laboratory experiments and field observations for the e-folding tim...
