BASIC STUDY ON SALT DAMAGE (I) PRODUCTION OF SEA-SALT PARTICLES AND A MODEL OF THEIR TRANSPORT INLAND

Estimates of the production rate of sea-salt particles, by the bursting of air bubbleson wind waves at sea, and of the amount of salt in the air at the coast, are presented as afunction of wind force. The distribution of the particles inland is analytically expressedin terms of dimensionless parameters, representing distance inland, height, and numberconcentration of the particles, especially in relation to the ratio between the magnitudeof the sink of the particles due to the impaction by ground obstacles and that dueto the sedimentation by gravity, in the case where there is no precipitation.Estimates of the production rate of sea-salt particles, by the bursting of air bubbleson wind waves at sea, and of the amount of salt in the air at the coast, are presented as afunction of wind force.
