Understanding the droplet cloud and spray dynamics is important on the study of the ocean surface and marine boundary layer.The role that the wave energy and the type of wave breaking plays in the resulting distribution and dynamics of droplets is yet to be understood. The aim of this work was to generate violent plunging breakers in the laboratory and analyze the spray production by the crest of the wave when it impacts in the free surface. The droplet sizes and their dynamics were measured and the effect of different wind speeds on the droplet production was also considered. It was found that the mean radius increases with the wave energy and the presence of larger droplets (radius > 2 mm) in the vertical direction increases with the presence of wind. Furthermore, the normalized distribution of droplet sizes is consistent with the distribution of ligament-mediated spray formation. Also, indications of turbulence affecting the droplet dynamics at wind speeds of 5 m/s were found. The amount of large droplets (radius >1 mm) found in this work was larger than reported in the literature. An improved estimation of the initial distribution of large droplets can largely affect the evolution of the Sea Spray Generation Function, and therefore the estimation of energy and mass transport in the marine boundary layer.
