Drift velocity profiles as inferred from measurements of surface wave celerity / F.J. Ocampo-Torres and M.A. Donelan.: En13-5/91-114E-PDF
"The properties of the very thin layer (a few centimeters thick) at the top of a water body determines the mass transfer rate for most toxic anthropogenic gases. Consequently, a great deal of effort is put into measuring and understanding the mechanical properties of this layer. This paper describes a new method of estimating the velocity profile in this layer. The method uses the measured propagation speed of surface waves as a tracer of the velocity profile. It has the considerable merit that the measurements, like the waves, are referenced to the moving surface rather than a-fixed probe"--Management perspective.
