Drag coefficient is an important parameter when estimating the air-sea momentum flux correctly. The drag coefficient, however, hasn't been accurately established due to variations in the data from field observation. Thus, a number of drag coeffici...
Air-sea CO2 gas transfer velocity is used to estimate the air-sea CO2 gas flux and is generally expressed as a function of wind speed. There has been considerable research on the air-sea CO2 gas transfer velocity i...

We propose a new model with microbreaking and linear dependence on wind speed in the whitecap-free area and linear dependence on the fractional area of whitecaps, based on the whitecap model proposed by Monahan and Spillane (The role of oceanic wh...
The effects of turbulent eddies and Langmuir circulations in liquid flow on scalar transfer across a sheared wind-driven gas-liquid interface are investigated by means of a direct numerical simulation of a gas-liquid two-phase turbulent flow with ...
