Abstract

Although Edward C. Monahan (ECM) spend the majority of his working career at The Department of Marine Sciences of the University of Connecticut (33 years), he also spent 10 years at University College Galway (UCG), Ireland (now known as the National University of Ireland Galway-NUI Galway) where he developed four key strands of research: simulated laboratory tank experiment into bubble-mediated aerosol production from artificial breaking waves; field and studies of spray-generated aerosol production; modelling and statistical analysis of sea-spray production aerosol measurements; analysis of whitecaps coverage. The evolution of the technologies, theories, and approaches used to elucidate and quantify oceanic whitecapping, pioneered by ECM, are reviewed here.
