An extensive set of measurements were taken in the Air-Sea Interaction Saltwater Tank (ASIST) at RSMAS under controlled conditions of wind speed and air-sea temperature difference to examine the behavior of the thermal skin layer. Air-water fluxes were controlled by changing the water temperature in the tank. Throughout the course of the experiment, air-water temperature differences were varied from 15 K to + 15 K in increments of 5 K, and the wind speed was varied from 0 to 10 ms-i in increments of 1 ms-i. Analysis has been undertaken in terms of the surface geometry, the subsurface temperature vertical microstructure, and the two-dimensional temperature variability at the water surface.
