Abstract: L26.00004 : Impact of Near-Surface Airflow Structure around Mechanical Breaking Waves on Inertial Marine Aerosol Dynamics*

This talk will present findings from two distinct experiments conducted at the University of Delaware's wind-wave flume. The first experiment measured the kinematics of inertial droplets generated from breaking waves with varying wave slopes and wave ages. The second experiment mapped airflow velocities and structure in the vicinity of the breaking wave through particle imaging velocimetry. Utilizing results from both studies, inertial droplet dynamics will be discussed including estimated slip velocities and droplet trajectories for varying droplet sizes and wind/wave conditions.
