The NOC team have recently finished quality controlling a large amount of open ocean whitecapping (wavebreaking) in-situ data. These data will be used within OceanFlux GHG to help validate the model and Earth observation derived estimates of whitecapping.
The attached image shows some example Whitecap coverage W (%) versus 10 m wind speed, with the dotted line showing an older empirical relationship which was derived in 1980. All of these in situ data have been collected using a camera system mounted on a number of different research ships.
The data are from the following projects:

That's really nice, I was looking out for data quality solutions to improve my business intelligence, customer insights and master data. This helps!
