Abstract
We propose a procedure to calculate the latent heat of vaporization of sea sprays in the meteorological model in order to investigate the effect of the sea sprays on the air temperature field above the sea surface. The air temperature locally decreased 0.1-0.5℃ when we consider latent heat flux due to sprays than the results without sprays. The numerical experiments varying `spray generation function' revealed that the sea sprays with its radii of O(10-100 μm) have influence on the temperature field the most. This suggests that the local meteorological field around the surf zone, where the number of the sea sprays of (O10-100 μm) is known to be greater than that above the ocean, is well affected by sea sprays.
