Abstract

The results of measurements of the temperature profiles in the air layer near the ocean surface carried out with the help of a descending temperature probe are presented. Most of the temperature drop measured at a height of 10m and near the water surface is concentrated in a 10-centimeter air layer above the surface. In the air layer near the water surface the temperature varies with the height according to a logarithmic law for wind velocities exceeding 3m/sec at a height of 10m.
