Abstract
During the 12-month-long period covered by this report, i.e.
in the 1 October 1984 - 30 September interval, all facets of
the Whitecap Project progressed apace.
The field work during this year included both international
and local measurement programmes. Data were obtained in the
North Sea during the HEXOS Meetpost Noordwijk experiment, and
along the west coast of Ireland, aboard the LOUGH BELTRA and
at the Gort na gCapall field station on Inishmore.
The effect of changes in water temperature on the aerosol
productivity of whitecaps was investigated using the whitecap
simulation tank. A detailed study of the production of
condensation nuclei by whitecaps was carried out in this tank
in co-operation with a colleague from t he State University of
New York at Albany.
