Deformations of air-water interfaces throughout a splash event of falling water drops on a still water surface were studied in this paper on the basis of back-light imaging measurements.A series of interfacial processes, formations of fine sprays shedding from crown tips, air bubbles released from the center of a cavity, secondary droplets fragmented from a centric jet, was parameterized with Froude and Weber numbers as well as relative densities of impacting and receiving liquids with the aim to develop a future model to describe local heat and moisture exchanges between atmosphere and ocean under rainfall.
