Abstract: This this award investigated surface boundary layers and air-sea interaction with theoretical and numerical research. Our long term scientific objective was to explore the nature of intermittence, coherent structures, and turbulent fluxes and their coupling in the surface layers of the marine atmospheric and oceanic planetary boundary layers (PBL). Efforts were focused on the effects of surface gravity waves on the near-surface dynamics, surface fluxes, and coupling between the atmospheric and oceanic PBLs. The final results of this work are provided in 2 journal articles and a reviewed meeting paper.
