Abstract: The drift responses of monomolecular slicks to wind and wave action have been investigated in a laboratory wind-wave tunnel and in the field. The wind-wave tunnel was fitted with a mechanical wave generator which produced ...

Abstract: Surface tension gradients have been measured for three different monolayers (oleyl alcohol, palmitic acid methyl ester and cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide) spread on a wavy water surface (waves with 1-Hz frequency; 2 cm ...

Abstract: In situ measurements of surface tension obtained by R.V. Gauss under coastal (North Sea of the Island of Sylt) and by R.V. Meteor under open sea conditions (GATE area) are Compared with time variations of the surface mean ...
