Keywords:Sea spray measurment, Air-sea surface-wave boundary layer, Marine aerosol

For understanding the phase relationship between the breaking of wind waves and the generation of marine-aerosol at the sea surface, we use an experimental opticle particle counter for sea spray (OPC-SS) which is able to measure particle concentrations at a rate of 10 Hz in 8 size bins between 0.3 and 30 micro-meters . The OPC-SS is also equipped with triaxial accelerometer at a rate of 10 Hz for measuring the movement of a buoy. In 2017, we have tested at the OPC-SS at the Shiramaha Oceanographic Observatory Tower (Kyoto Univ.) and also in the Otsuchi Bay in front ot the International Coastal Research Center (the Univ. of Tokyo).
