Wave-breaking Effects

Wave-Breaking Effects is a physical process in air-sea interaction that characterizes the enhancement of gas transfer across the ocean-atmosphere interface due to turbulent mixing, bubble-mediated exchange, and increased surface area caused by the mechanical disruption of waves exceeding their stability threshold.
