Satellite measurements of ocean wave breaking

该项目旨在开发一种全球卫星测量海浪破裂的方法，并确定全球趋势。海浪破碎的测量是难以捉摸的，也无法在全球范围内获得，但对于理解海浪动力学、海气相互作用、气溶胶产生、气体转移、海洋混合、气候和其他海气系统中的耦合动力学以及设计和操作沿海和近海设施非常重要。该项目将产生波浪和环流模式的重大更新，这将对我们了解波浪、海洋和气候动力学、沿海和近海设施的设计和运行以及确定全球趋势非常重要。新的卫星传感有望广泛用于海洋和工程应用，以及波浪和环流模式的重大更新。

This project aims to develop a methodology for global satellite measurements of ocean wave breaking and determine global trends. Measurements of ocean wave breaking are elusive and not available at global scale, but are important for understanding ocean wave dynamics, air-sea interaction, aerosol production, gas transfer, ocean mixing, climate, and other coupled dynamics in the air-sea system, and designing and operating coastal and offshore facilities. This project will produce major updates of wave and General Circulation Models which will be important for our understanding of wave, ocean and climate dynamics, the design and operation of coastal and offshore facilities and the determination of global trends. The new satellite sensing is expected to be used extensively in metocean and engineering applications, and for major updates of wave and general circulation models.
