   "Understanding the formation of bubbles is key," says Grant Deane, a physicist at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California at San Diego who authored a study about bubbles with Scripps colleague M. Dale Stokes in this week's issue of Nature . "It's an important part of the puzzle to understanding global warming and underwater noise."
   
   Bubble Magic
   
   Bubbles influence the environment mostly as they form and break. As ocean waves crest and topple, air and sea water mix to form whitecaps. Inside each whitecap is a rich swirl of bubbles called the bubble plume.
   
   ...
   To better understand bubbles and their effects, Deane and Stokes captured video images of bubbles inside whitecaps cresting at the ocean's surface and from within waves created by a laboratory wave machine. To do this they built a so-called "BubbleCam" - a high-speed video camera with an intricate lens and focusing system that can snap finely sliced pictures as waves break.
   
   A computer then counted most of the bubbles in the images, although some were left for human eyes to decipher. Once they charted the bubbles' sizes and distribution, Deane and Stokes determined there are two main kinds: Bubbles with a radius smaller than about 1 millimeter and those larger.
   
   The larger bubbles, they learned, are formed by turbulence as a wave curls over on itself, creating the tube that surfers covet. The smaller ones are created by the splash of the wave's tip hitting its face. Smaller ones persist longer than larger ones thanks to a sturdier structure.
   
   "These results are one more piece of information," said Deane. "Why do you get the number and sizes of bubbles you do in breaking waves? It's a very basic science question that we're trying to answer. It's like the Big Bang theory of bubbles..."
   
   Not only can the new information help scientists better understand bubbles' role in weather systems and climate change, it may also shed light on underwater acoustics.
