Contents

• OBJECT AND METHODS OF THE INVESTIGATION: Object of the investigation and its basic characteristics -- Basic types of vertical thermal structure of the nearsurface layer of the ocean and several characteristics of the temperature variability in it -- Variability of salinity in the near-surface layer of the ocean -- Methods of studying the near-surface layer of the ocean -- THE SURFACE OF THE OCEAN AND ITS ANOMALOUS CONDITIONS: The role of the free surface of the ocean in the formation of the structure and regimes of the near-surface layer -- Anomalous conditions of the ocean surface -- Anomalous phenomena on the ocean surface through observations of seamen -- THE THERMAL BOUNDARY LAYER OF THE OCEAN AND THE PRIMARY SCALES OF CONVECTION: On 'warm' and 'cold' boundary layers -- The structure of the warm boundary layer -- The cold boundary layer -- Methodological questions on measuring the temperature difference in the thermal boundary layer of the ocean -- Practical problems arising in connection with the contribution of the thermal boundary layer to the overall variability of temperature of the near-surface layer of the ocean -- On the satellite measurement of the ocean surface temperature --
• THE CYCLICAL NATURE AND SPACE STRUCTURE OF THE NEAR-SURFACE LAYER IN CONNECTION WITH SOLAR HEATING AND CONVECTION: Volume absorption of solar energy in the near-surface layer of the ocean. Irradiance models -- Propagation of cyclical heating through the near-surface layer thickness -- The diurnal (daily) thermocline and variability of the thermal structure of the near-surface layer of the ocean in a diurnal cycle -- The blocking role of the diurnal thermocline with regard to turbulence in the near-surface layer of the ocean -- Typical scales and characteristics of space structure inhomogeneities of the near-surface layer of the ocean -- CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF WATER MOTION IN THE NEAR-SURFACE LAYER OF THE OCEAN: What are the components of the currents that are recorded in the near-surface layer of the ocean? -- Marginal ice zones -- Coherent (ordered) forms of non-stationary motion in the near-surface layer of the ocean -- THE NEAR-SURFACE LAYER AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF REMOTE SENSING OF THE OCEAN: On the oceanological information content of the temperature fields of the surface and near-surface layer of the ocean -- An estimate of the velocity field characteristics by a passive tracer observation in the near-surface layer of the ocean -- On the information content of the characteristics of surface waves.
