Marine Surface Films Chemical Characteristics, Influence on Air-Sea Interactions and Remote Sensing /

Since the late 1960s, various groups have investigated the influence of marine surface films on mechanisms dominating energy and mass transfer across the ocean/atmosphere interface. However, a compendium summarizing the state-of-the-art research in this field is still missing. The book fills this ga...
