A New Algorithm to Predict the Air-Sea Spray Fluxes

New sea spray flux formulae, including the new sea spray generation function and new drag coefficient, are proposed, which can express the influence of wave state remarkably. With HEXOS data set, sea spray feedback effect is parameterized by two coefficients, and both of them are larger than 1, which means the feedback effect can enlarge the sea spray heat fluxes considerably. In the new sea spray flux formulae, windsea Reynolds number can be expressed as the fundamental parameter which controls the intensity of air-sea interaction, especially, can reconcile the different dynamical conditions with various wind forcing and wave states occurring in the air-sea interface.
