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.

and rationale.- Spatial stochastic breaking wave fields in the atmosphere-ocean system.- Linear and two-dimensional geometry of whitecapping and foam structures.- The lifetime dynamics of sea wave breakings.- The drop-spray phase over a rough sea surface.- Electrodynamics of a rough, disperse, closely packed media.- Electrodynamics of concentrated drop flows.- Field optical-microwave remote sensing of the air-sea transition zone in the atmosphere-ocean system.- Conclusions.
