Ea. Sharkov, OPTICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF TEMPORAL EVOLUTION OF FOAM STRUCTURES ON SEA-SURFACE, Earth observation and remote sensing, 12(1), 1995, pp. 88-101
The paper consists results of special processing of large-scale sea su
rface photoimages and movies obtained during the field experiments in
Pacific and Caspian Sea for wind velocities from 7.7 to 13.5 m/s. It w
as experimentally shown that time evolution of patch foam structures i
s exponential character. New specific group of sea wave breaking, name
d microbreakings, was detected.
