| Summary: | Examines the fundamental processes underlying the flux of mass across the air-water interface and the methodologies involved in estimation of that flux. The 57 papers consider the effects of surface waves, turbulence, buoyancy, and surfactants on gas transfer, air-sea interactions in strong winds, and the interpretation of relevant satellite data. Topics include physical and chemical measurements parameterizing air-sea heat exchange, gas exchange due to bubbles generated by wind wave breaking, estimation of whitecap coverage percentage by shallow grazing-angle video and FMICW radar, and daily surface wind fields produced by merged satellite data.
