<dd>Aerosols are generated within the surf zone by the breaking of waves along the beachfront. The concentration of aerosols, size and structure of these plumes are impacted by the air/sea temperature differences, breaker type and local winds. During the EOPACE 1 surf experiment at Lalolla, CA, it was observed that under light wind conditions, standing aerosol plumes would develop to heights of 31 meters. Concurrently, transmittance at FLIR wavelengths would be degraded up to 35%. Similar aerosol plume structures were observed during EOPACE II at Moss Landing, CA. These results are used to characterize and forecast standing plume conditions that may impact Electro-Optical transmission</dd>
