Ocean Surface Roughness from Satellite Observations and Spectrum Modeling of Wind Waves
Paul A. Hwang
Many wind wave spectrum models provide excellent wave height prediction given the input of wind speed and wave age. Their quantification of the surface roughness, on the other hand…
Microwave Specular Returns and Ocean Surface Roughness
Paul A. Hwang, Thomas L. Ainsworth, Jeffrey D. Ouellette
Remote sensing measurements have been an important data source of ocean surface roughness. Scatterometers operating at moderate and high incidence angles provide information on the…
Do wind-generated waves under steady forcing propagate primarily in the downwind direction?
Paul A. Hwang, David W. Wang, James Yungel +2
Measuring the directional distribution of ocean waves is a difficult task in ocean wave research. For many decades, wind-generated waves are assumed to propagate primarily in the w…
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…
