Abstract
There is a difference between the temperature at the ocean-air interface and that of the interior layers, the surface is generally cooler than the subsurface water. The major temperature variation concentrated in the thin skin layer of about 10-1 cm thickness. Development of subsurface vorticity induced by steep capillary waves increases the heat conductivity and correspondingly decreases the surface cooling
