Abstract
The research is a contribution to the ASE topic, ‘Factors determining particle dynamics over the air-sea interface’, a co-operation between Rise National Laboratory, TNO Physics and Electronics Laboratory, and ECN. It included two parts, an experimental study of sub-micronic particle deposition at the water surface in a wind-water tunnel, and a theoretical study of the dynamics of aerosols in the atmospheric surface layer over the sea surface. This second part consisted in developing two numerical models of the behaviour of (a) the sea spray droplets generated at the wave surface and dispersed by the turbulent motions of air while they partially evaporate, (b) the transport of sub-micronic aerosols and their deposition at the sea surface.
