A Novel Method to Discriminate Active from Residual Whitecaps Using Particle Image Velocimetry

Whitecap foam generated by wind-driven wave breaking is distinguished as either active (stage A) or residual (stage B). Discrimination of whitecap stages is essential to quantify the influence of whitecaps on the physical and chemical processes at the marine boundary layer. This study provides a nov...
