Wave breaking in ocean-atmosphere exchanges

Session ID#: 84579

Session Description:
Waves and wave breaking at the surface of the ocean strongly modulate fluxes between the ocean and atmosphere, entraining bubbles, ejecting spray, and exchanging momentum with the turbulent atmospheric and oceanic boundary layers. Entrained bubbles strongly impact gas transfer, while sea spray can be transported into the atmosphere, where it affects the heat, moisture and momentum fluxes, influencing physical and biological processes. Waves and wave breaking also participate in horizontal mass transport, affecting sea ice, currents, upper ocean processes such as Langmuir turbulence as well as the drift of pollutant and plastic. These processes cover a wide range of scales, from micrometric drops and bubbles to large scale wave swell. The development of coupled wave-ocean models requires the development of physics based parameterization that explicitly consider the role of wave variability. This session aims to consolidate our understanding of the role of waves and wave breaking in modulating fluxes at the ocean-atmosphere interface. We welcome contributions on processes that control the mass and momentum exchanges from a variety of approaches, including field work, laboratory experiments and numerical simulations. Presentations on how the understanding of such small-scale processes can be used by remote sensing techniques or represented in parameterizations (to be used in larger scale ocean modeling) is highly encouraged.
