Numerical experiments on meteorological fields were performed using WRF model with considering latent heat of sea sprays in order to investigate how much contribution does the sea sprays have on the air-sea heat transfer. The contribution of sprays on the entire heat flux on the deep ocean was found to be up to 6% under the present meteorological conditions without extremely strong wind, which could be one-order higher in the coastal region where the amount of sprays is much higher than the deep ocean. The effect of sprays is suggested to be evaluated separately instead of using a bulk model for computing meteorological fields around a coastal region or storm where generation of sea sprays is increased.
