This booklet treats the constitution and variability of simple actual fields in a skinny near-surface layer which responds fast to all temporary and native fluctuations of atmospheric forcing and of radiative solar power flux. The ebook comprises updated info on diverse phenomena and techniques during this layer according to examine performed over the past ten years. the next themes are taken care of intimately: easy kinds of vertical thermal constitution of near-surface layers; anomalous phenomena at the ocean floor; thermal and haline boundary layers, its constructions and family to convection; diurnal thermocline and cycle nature of comparable methods; results of precipitation on near-surface salinity and thermal constitution; peculiarities of near-surface ocean currents; coherent (organized) sorts of non-stationary currents (mushroom currents or vortex dipoles, transversal jets in coastal upwellings, vortices and jets in marginal ice zones); a few features of effectiveness of distant sensing of the sea through aerospace technique.
