Abstract

Bubble populations at the sea surface were deduced from oceanic measurements; drop productions through the bursting of artificially generated bubbles were also observed. Taking these results together, contributions of film and jet drops to marine aerosols under various wind velocities are estimated; they appear to consist of mainly jet drops.
