This volume provides an overview of current developments in theoretical aspects of atmosphere-ocean interactions. These include the fundamental influence of the ocean surface on the atmospheric dynamics and also the impact of atmospheric phenomena on the upper ocean. Both large scale ocean-atmosphere dynamics, including low frequency variability, as well as shorter time-scales, such as the physics of the atmospheric and oceanic boundary layers and their interactions with surface waves and related air-sea processes important in marine storms are considered. The text also includes some recent research results.

A review of the sea spray generation function for the open ocean; The extratropical transformation: a scientific challenge; Tropical cyclone-ocean interactions; Storm simulations using a regional coupled atmosphere-ocean modeling system; Impact and feedback of ocean waves on the atmosphere; Regional atmosphere-wave-ocean impacts; Boundary layer models for the ocean and the atmosphere; The influence of air-sea interaction on tropical cyclones; Impact of climate change on tropical cyclones.
