Sea Spray-Mediated Fluxes at Extreme Wind Speeds

Tropical cyclones are complex systems that are challenging to forecast and model. Since tropical cyclones are powered by the warm ocean surface, the accuracy of intensity forecasts depends heavily on the air-sea interaction scheme. However, at extreme wind speeds the air-sea transition layer becomes...
