Whitecap and Wind Stress Observations by Microwave Radiometers: Global Coverage and Extreme Conditions

Whitecaps manifest surface wave breaking that impacts many ocean processes, of which surface wind stress is the driving force. For close to a half century of quantitative whitecap reporting, only a small number of observations are obtained under conditions with wind speed exceeding 25 m s −1 . White...
