"Date completed: April 1985." Includes bibliographical references. "In this report we will discuss a new instrument for the imaging of a limited area of the ocean surface when breaking waves are present. The motivation for the work stems from the need to estimate the depth to which air is entrained in the ocean. Mixing depth of air is a useful parameter to describe the transfer of gases to and from the atmosphere, the shattering of the surface skin of the water leading to particulate production in the upper layer as well as resuspension of enriched aerosols. Also, the bubble production mechanism, which is inherently interesting in itself, has applications as diverse as radar scattering of the surface, sound propagation and generation in the ocean, electric current production, reduction of anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere and the destruction of oil spills naturally"--Background.
