Addendum to “Sea spray aerosol flux estimation based on long-term variation of wave statistics”: estimation based on long-term variation of wind statistics

Abstract

This note provides estimates of the mean whitecap coverage and the mean sea spray aerosol flux based on long-term wind statistics from the Northern North Sea. Here the improved sea spray aerosol production flux model by Callaghan (2013) is used. The results are compared with those in Myrhaug et al. (2015) based on long-term wave statistics from the Northern North Sea and the North Atlantic.
