Drift current in a thin surface layer of the ocean

A theoretical model is proposed for the drift current in the surface layer of the sea that considers molecular transfer exchange in the thermal conductivity coefficient for the thin layers of water and air near the ocean/atmosphere boundary as well as a layer of depth in the sea in which the coefficient rises from the molecular to turbulent values.

Microconvection in evaporation and microconvection in ice formation

Absorption of solar radiation by sea water with contact heat exchange and evaporation leads to the formation of a thin cold film on the ocean surface. Microconvection to ice in this thin surface layer is attributed to nonuniform temperature distributions in wind and water and irregular drag by the air currents.
