Sea salt emission from the coastal zone

Abstract

The paper presents the findings of experiments to determine marine aerosol emission from the coastal zone. A relation between aerosol flux and wave energy dissipation was found. The emission fluxes calculated for the distribution of aerosol concentration are proportional to the dissipation of wave energy to the power of 3/4. The calculations were carried out using the experimental data obtained during the TABEX and BAEX experiments.
