Sentences with phrase «of sea spray»

Computer - generated models of sea spray, however, show that at least some ions remain in the surface layer of water.

The composition of sea spray aerosol particles are influenced by both chlorophyll - a concentrations and microbial degradation.

Ocean biology alters the chemical composition of sea spray in ways that influence its ability to form clouds over the ocean.

From 1962 on he began to spend summers at an artist colony in Provincetown, which inspired a series of 64 works in which he splashed oil paint, mimicking the action of sea spray on canvas.

It was previously thought that sodium chloride was a good approximation for the hygroscopicity of the inorganic fraction of sea spray.

Using models, the authors were able to show that the reduced hygroscopicity of sea spray means that these particles will grow less and reflect less sunlight than previously thought.

In an analysis of how the droplet concentration changed with height above the ocean surface, they found that the vertical distribution of sea spray diverged from the existing theoretical distribution, which means the number of water droplets for a given air volume at a specific height above the ocean surface was significantly different than the predicted concentration.

The evaporation of sea spray is thought to contribute to the transfer of heat from the ocean to the atmosphere, which accelerate winds in a storm, potentially impacting its intensity.

This finding has implications for the role of sea spray aerosols in climate, especially on how they interact with solar radiation,» says Paul Zieger, assistant professor at ACES and co-author of the study.

«Biological activity alters the ability of sea spray to seed clouds.»

«Once the ocean - atmosphere system was isolated, we could systematically probe how changes in the seawater due to biological activity affect the composition and climate properties of the sea spray aerosol,» said Prather, a professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry who holds a joint appointment at Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

Dining Enjoy a satisfying meal at a restaurant serving guests of Sea Spray Resort & Marina.

Admiring this monumental canvas — replete with hues of white truffle, viridian and lapis lazuli — one discovers chromatic equivalents to the cypress trees and succulents that blanket the Cap d'Antibes» coastline, the cacophony of terns and gulls wheeling and feeding in the roaring surf and the sting of sea spray against one's face.

The most celebrated of this group, Joseph Mallard William Turner painted vast, energetic canvases of angry seas, his dynamic splatters of paint conjuring the cold bite of the sea spray.

Salter's technique, which will be published in Atmospheric Research, would involve «using a fine mist of sea spray to increase the density, and whiteness, of low - lying stratocumulus.»

According to Prather, the studies have given researchers a newfound understanding of the significance of the complicated relationships between the microbes that can be found in seawater and their impact in the composition and the ability to form clouds of sea spray aerosol.

Andreas, E. L., and Emanuel, K. A., 2001: Effect of Sea Spray on Tropical Cyclone Intensity.

Earlier investigations had attempted to find a correlation between the composition of sea spray and the prevalence of photoplankton, with mixed results.

The ability of the inorganic component of sea spray particles to take up water has been the focus of this international study where a large suite of well - controlled laboratory experiments have shown, for the first time, that the hygroscopicity of the inorganic component of sea spray is significantly lower than pure sodium chloride, a substance routinely used to describe their hygroscopicity in climate models.
