The series of sea surface aerosol generation models beginning with that of Monahan,et al., which relate the flux of spray droplets up from the interface to the fractinal whitecap coverage, have been used successfully by, for example, Burk and Stramska, to predict the aerosol population of the MABL. Combining these models with the insights into parent bubble‐daughter jet droplet relationships found in Blanchard, it has been possible to infer, again in terms of fractional whitecap coverage, the associated bubble flux up to the sea surface. This bubble flux model, when taken together with the information on effective bubble rise velocities provided by Thorpe, leads to estimates of mixed layer buble populations, estimates which are in first order agreement with the limited collection of bubble populations reported for comparable sea states.
