Beschreibung
This volume offers readers a unique tool for conducting research in air-sea interactions. It details recent progress in the domains of experimental process studies as well as computer stimulation. It represents a first approach of merging insights gained in both fields and broadens our understanding of the processes involved in air-water gas and heat exchange. Predictions of our future climate vary greatly, with detailed forecasts still subject to debate. One key uncertainty is caused by the lack of our present knowledge of transport processes in the air-water interface, which poses the main transfer resistance between the oceans and atmosphere. This book will help readers gain a more complete understanding of the mechanisms involved in transporting energy and mass between the atmosphere and the sea, which will allow modeling and predictions of our global climate to greatly improve.
