Passive Optical Sensing of the Near-Surface Wind-Driven Current Profile

Estimation of near-surface current is essential to the estimation of upper-ocean material transport. Wind forcing and wave motions are dominant in the near-surface layer [within O (0.01) m of the surface], where the highly sheared flows can differ greatly from those at depth. This study presents a n...
