A complete size spectrum of bubbles in the near-surface ocean is first deduced from available measurements. Combining this with the functional variation of bubble population with wind velocity rates of bubbles arriving at the sea, surface, expressed in the form of flux spectra, are obtained under various wind velocities. In the meantime, production of film and jet drops by artificially generated bubbles at the surface of seawater is parameterized. Spectra of marine aerosols under various wind velocities are finally obtained from the field-determined bubble flux spectrum and the laboratory-determined aerosol production function. The estimated spectra compare favorably with oceanic measurements. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1992
