摘要

Quantifying active and residual whitecap fractions separately can improve parameterizations of air-sea fluxes associated with breaking waves. We use data from a multi-instrumental field campaign on Floating Instrument Platform (FLIP) to simultaneously capture the signatures of active and residual whitecaps at visible, infrared (IR), and microwave wavelengths using, respectively, video camera, mid-IR camera, and a radiometer at 10 GHz. We present results from processing and analyzing IR images and correlating this information with radiometric time series of brightness temperature at horizontal and vertical polarizations T_(BH) and T_(BV). The results provide evidence that breaking crests and decaying foam appear in mid-IR as bright and dark pixels clearly distinguishing active from residual whitecaps. We quantify the durations of whitecap lifetime stages from the IR images and identify their corresponding signatures in T_B time series. Results show that T_(BH) and T_(BV) vary in phase during the active and in antiphase during the residual whitecap stages. A methodology to distinguish active and residual whitecaps in radiometric time series without a priori IR information has been developed and verified with corresponding IR and video images. The method uses the degree of polarization P (the ratio between the sum and difference of T_(BV) and T_(BH)) to capture whitecaps as prominent spikes. The maximum and zero-crossing of the first derivative of P serve to identify the presence of active whitecaps, while the minimum of dP marks the transition from active to residual whitecap stage. The findings have implications for radiometric measurements of active and total whitecap fractions.
