Energy dissipation just beneath the air water interface and consequences for gas transfer / by Nuri Merzi, Eugene A. Terray and Mark A. Donelan.: En13-5/88-77E-PDF

"The effect of the breaking of short gravity and capillary waves on the sub-interfacial energy dissipation, was explored in a wind-water tunnel. It is believed that the release of turbulent energy by these small breakers is an important element in easing the passage of dissolved gases across the air-water interface - a process of some significance in understanding the fate of pollutants released into the atmosphere or surface waters"--Abstract.
