A systematic analysis of the salinity effect on air bubbles evolution: laboratory experiments in a breaking wave analog

The effect of water salinity on air entrainment and surface foam evolution in breaking waves was studied in a laboratory breaking wave analog. This dataset contains the raw data extracted from the experiments. The results submitted for publication in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans (Manuscript#: 2019JC015337) show a distinct effect of salinity on subsurface bubbles, surface foam bubbles and whitecap area. Our findings are discussed in the light of bubble mediated droplets emission from breaking waves at the air-water interface.

本研究在实验室模拟的破碎波装置中，探讨了水盐度对空气夹带及破碎波表面泡沫演化的影响。本数据集包含了从实验中提取的原始数据。提交至《地球物理研究：海洋学刊》（稿件编号：2019JC015337）的成果表明，盐度对水下气泡、表面泡沫气泡以及白帽面积具有显著影响。我们的研究结论在破碎波于空气-水界面处通过气泡介导的液滴排放的背景下进行讨论。
