On the dynamics of the molecular temperature boundary layer above the sea

Results of measurements taken in the Caspian Sea in 1975 and 1976 were used to study the thickness of the molecular temperature boundary layer and the difference of temperature in this layer as functions of hydrometeorological parameters. The thickness of the molecular temperature boundary layer was...

Description
Summary:Results of measurements taken in the Caspian Sea in 1975 and 1976 were used to study the thickness of the molecular temperature boundary layer and the difference of temperature in this layer as functions of hydrometeorological parameters. The thickness of the molecular temperature boundary layer was dependent upon both the friction velocity and wave phase, as was the temperature difference; however, it was not possible to observe a definite dependence upon the roughness of the surface of the sea and the stability.
