Scientific paper

Wind shortwave instability of a foam layer between the atmosphere and the ocean is examined in order to reach greater understanding of the recent findings of the decrease in momentum transfer from hurricane winds to sea waves. The three-fluid configuration with the high contrasts in densities of the air, foam and water provides for an effective mechanism to stabilize the water surface.
