Sea Surface Roughness

Sea Surface Roughness is a geophysical parameter that denotes the vertical irregularity of the air-sea interface, characterized by small-scale variations in surface elevation due to wavelets and microscale wave activity, which directly influence momentum, heat, and gas exchange processes between the ocean and atmosphere.
