Estimating the volume and surface area of air bubbles entrained by breaking waves from whitecap observations: With implications on the characteristic breaking wave speed and breaking strength parameter

Paul A. Hwang

A conceptual model relating the whitecap coverage to the bubble plume buoyancy is developed following the observation that the entrained bubble plume buoyancy constitutes a large p…

Effects of Short Scale Roughness and Wave Breaking Efficiency on Sea Spray Aerosol Production: Multisensor Field Observations

Paul A. Hwang, Ivan B. Savelyev, Steve L. Means +5

Simultaneous measurements of sea spray aerosol (SSA), wind, wave, underwater acoustic noise, and microwave brightness temperature are obtained in the open ocean. These data are ana…

Directional Distribution of Ocean Surface Roughness Observed in Microwave Radar Backscattering

Paul A. Hwang

The directional distribution of ocean surface roughness is examined using the Ku, C and L band microwave radar backscattering. The parameters characterizing the upwind-downwind and…

Bimodal directional propagation of wind-generated ocean surface waves

Paul A. Hwang, David W. Wang, W. Erick Rogers +3

Over the years, the directional distribution functions of wind-generated wave field have been assumed to be unimodal. While details of various functional forms differ, these direct…
