<title>Influence of transparency of the surface 1-metre-depth layer of the ocean on heat and mass exchange between ocean and atmosphere</title>

Abstract

The calculations show that the absorption of the direct solar radiation in the surface 1-metre layer of the ocean depending on the transparence of the water can result in he change of the heat-and-mass exchange in it. Two new regimes of the heat and mass exchange are described, found experimentally in situ with the help of microthermoprobe. Data on the intensity of heat-and-mass exchange of the ocean and atmosphere are given.Formation of climate and weather on the Earth is basically determined by heat and mass exchange between the ocean and the atmosphere which occurs by mean of processes of water evaporation, effective long-wave radiation and contact heat transfer. Being the initial cause of global circulation of atmospheric and water masses on the Earth these processes themselves take place on the very surface of the ocean in a layer of 40 1um thin.
