Wave breaking at high wind speeds and its effects on air-sea gas transfer

Gravity waves are ubiquitous at the surface of the ocean and play a key role in the coupled ocean-atmosphere system. These wind generated waves, for which gravity provides the restoring force, influence the kinematics and dynamics of the upper ocean and lower atmosphere. Their breaking injects turbu...
