A study to investigate the utility of seaplanes to support an offshore military sea base has been undertaken by the CISD. The potential use and importance of seaplanes for future sea-based military missions are discussed. The research outlines the history of seaplane development, their different modes of operation and associated enabling technologies. Parametric data collected on seaplanes has ...

Abstract Sea spray aerosol (SSA) formation have a major role in the climate system, but measurements at global-scale of this micro-scale process are highly challenging. We measured high-resolution temporal patterns SSA number concentration over Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Pacific Ocean covering 42,000 km. discovered ubiquitous 24-hour rhythm to concentration, with concentrations increasi...

Abstract The intensity of tropical cyclones is sensitive to the air-sea fluxes enthalpy and momentum. Sea spray plays a critical role in mediating momentum over ocean’s surface at high wind speeds, parameterizing influence sea crucial component any interaction scheme used for regime where ubiquitous. Many studies have proposed parameterizations flux that incorporate microphysics evaporation mec...
