Ocean surface microlayer: Researchers study ocean-atmosphere interface

Andrew Wozniak, an associate professor at the University of Delaware, co-led a research expedition aboard the university’s research vessel Hugh R. Sharp to study the surface microlayers of the North Atlantic. Here, researchers work with a rosette sampler, a device that uses a shard of glass to collect water samples from the deep ocean. The glass slab is immersed in…
