Breaking Ocean Waves: Geometry, Structure and Remote Sensing

by Eugene A. Sharkov

Overview

This book represents the most comprehensive description of the physical properties including geometry, structure, spatio-temporal evolution and remotely sensed reflectance and emissivity in visible, IR and microwave ranges of one of the most important elements of disturbed sea surface - sea waves breaking.
