Additional information
The research used a novel optical fibre probe technique to measure the bubble size distribution in the highly aerated, active bubble plumes generated by breaking waves. The technique was subsequently used on a major NERC UK-SOLAS research project (Field Observations of Sea Spray, Gas Fluxes and Whitecaps: SEASAW). Fieldwork included one dedicated research cruise (D317 in 2007) as reported by Brooks and 48 co-authors, 2009: Physical exchanges at the air-sea interface: UK-SOLAS Field Measurements. Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 90(5), 629-644. The data are valuable for the estimation of gas transfer across the air-sea interface.
