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 ...
