Measuring the dispersion of a surface layer by breaking waves using planar laser induced fluorescence

Surface films can be found all over the world, from the algae blooms of the Mediterranean to oil or sewage pollution near harbours and cities. In this paper the experimental method of planar laser induced fluorescence is used to measure how breaking waves disperse these films.
