Eugene Sharkov, of the Space Research Institute in Moscow, has here put together the most comprehensive description of the physical findings of an investigation into the spatio-temporal characteristics of the gravity of breaking waves. He?s also described the foam activity in the open sea using methods and instruments of optical and microwave remote sensing. Numerous practical applications and illustrations are provided from air-borne, ship-borne and laboratory up-to-date experiments.

1. Introduction.- 2. Random wave breaking fields in atmosphere-ocean system.- 3. Linear and two-dimensional geometry of whitecappings and foam structures.- 4. Life-time of breakings.- 5. Sea drop-spray clouds.- 6. Electrodynamics of close packed media.- 7. Electrodynamics of concentrated drop flows.- 8. Field optical, infrared and microwave remote sensing of air-sea transition zone in the atmosphere-ocean system.

Comprehensive description of the physical findings of an investigation into the spatio-temporal characteristics

Ground-breaking work, as no-one anticipated the gravity of breaking waves and the foam activity in open sea

Reviews the importance of attendant foam forming to ocean wave dynamics
