Aerosol fluxes from the sea surface are one of the important factors determining the dynamics of the air-sea interaction. Not numerous available data showed that the intensity of aerosol fluxes strongly depends on the intensity of wave breaking. In the paper theoretical formulas to determine the probability of breaking crests and percentage of whitecaps coverage are discussed. These formulas are a starting basis for the set-by-step procedure to determine the aerosol fluxes in deep water under the steady sea state conditions.
