Abstract

The vertical structure of wind-driven sea surface currents and the role of wind-wave breaking in its formation are investigated by means of both field experiments and modeling. Analysis of drifter measure- ments of surface currents in the uppermost 5-m layer at wind speeds from 3 to 15 m s
