Sea spray droplets are produced by waves breaking on the sea surface, and they vary the transfer of energy between the atmosphere and ocean. The sea spray generation function (SSGF) is generally considered as a function of the initial radius of the spray droplets and the wind speed. However, ocean waves always exist at the air-sea interface, so it is not reasonable to consider only the effect of sea surface winds while ignoring the effects of ocean waves. Whitecap coverage is an important characteristic parameter of breaking waves, and researchers believe that this parameter is related to both wave state and wind speed. In this paper, the SSGF is parameterized by the whitecap coverage, and a new SSGF describing different droplet radii is organically integrated based on the whitecap coverage parameter. Then, with the relationship between the whitecap coverage and wave state, the influence of ocean waves on the SSGF for different wave states was analyzed by using observational data in the laboratory. The results show that the new SSGF that considers wave effects can reasonably describe the droplet generation process under different wave state conditions.

带有白帽覆盖的海浪生成函数的参数化

浪花是由海面的波浪破裂产生的，它们改变了大气与海洋之间的能量传递。通常认为海浪产生函数（SSGF）是液滴初始半径和风速的函数。但是，海浪总是存在于海海界面，因此仅考虑海面风的影响而忽略海浪的影响是不合理的。白帽覆盖率是破碎海浪的重要特征参数，研究人员认为该参数与海浪状态和风速有关。在本文中，通过白帽覆盖率对SSGF进行参数化，并基于白帽覆盖率参数有机地集成了描述不同液滴半径的新SSGF。然后，利用白帽覆盖率与波浪状态之间的关系，利用实验室的观测资料分析了海浪对不同波浪状态下SSGF的影响。结果表明，考虑到波浪效应的新型SSGF可以合理地描述不同波浪状态条件下的液滴产生过程。
