Reduction of air-sea momentum flux due to whitecap residual foam observed during a laboratory experiment
Abstract Whitecap foam, created by breaking waves, is a ubiquitous ocean surface feature. Full understanding of its role in the air-sea interaction is crucial for precise momentum flux parameterization which directly influences forecast accuracy, especially in hurricanes where whitecaps are pervasiv...
