A great deal of the research performed at SUSTAIN involves the observation, theory, and modeling of the physical exchange between the atmosphere and ocean. Specific processes that we study include wave growth and breaking, turbulent air-sea fluxes of momentum, heat, and gas, sea spray and bubble generation, in moderate and extreme (hurricane) conditions alike. Better understanding of these processes ultimately leads to improved weather and ocean prediction as well as the development of new observational techniques.
