DESCRIPTION:
"Five Stars" according to Some guy. A must read before swimming in the ocean
The book fills this gap and transfers the accumulated knowledge to the scientific community. 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. Air-sea interaction experiments are then described and finally, remote sensing applications with sea slicks and crude oil spills are presented.. However, a compendium summarizing the state-of-the-art research in this field is still missing. After a brief historical chapter basic chemical insights are presented, followed by theoretical and experimental approaches carried out in laboratory facilities
