found: Work cat.: Hardy, J.T. The sea surface microlayer, 1982:p. 308 (Most biological and chemical processes of importance occur at surfaces or interfaces between differing environments. The sea surface microlayer (upper 0-1 mm) represents such an interface. It covers 71% of the world's surface and controls the exchange of natural and man-made substances between the atmosphere and hydrosphere)
found: Journal of marine systems, Aug. 2006:p. 23 (The sea-surface microlayer is generally defined as the top several tens to several hundreds of micrometers of the water surface. Compared with the subsurface water, the microlayer is generally enriched with various organisms and chemical substances and considered to exhibit distinct physical, chemical and biological properties due to the accumulation of surface-active material within this thin layer)
found: McGraw-Hill encyclopedia of ocean and atmospheric sciences, 1980:p. 411 (The microlayer is the thin zone beneath the surface of the ocean or any free water surface within which physical processes are modified by proximity to the air-water boundary)
found: The sea surface and global change, 1997:p. xiii (The sea-surface microlayer has often been operationally defined as roughly the top 1 to 1000 micrometres of the ocean surface ... The microlayer is known to concentrate, to varying degrees, many chemical substances, particularly those that are surface active, and may organisms live and/or find food there. It is clearly the interface through which all gaseous, liquid and particulate material must pass when exchanging between the ocean and the atmosphere)
