Viscosity of Sea Surface Microlayer in Jiaozhou Bay and Adjacent Sea Area

摘要

This study on the temporal and spatial variability of the viscosity and some chemical parameters in the sea surface microlayer (SML), the relationship between the viscosity and chemical parameters, and the influence of the viscosity on the mass transfer coefficient (K) in the flux of materials through the air-sea interface revealed that: The values of viscosity and some chemical parameters in the SML are higher than those in the sub-surface layer (SSL) , and at daytime are higher than those at night. The viscosity has positive corelation with chemical oxygen demand (COD) , dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and salinity. The "SML effect" on K need not be considered because the SML effect on materials concentration is so small.
