Abstract
The paper consists results of special processing of large-scale sea su rface photoimages and movies obtained during the field experiments in Pacific and Caspian Sea for wind velocities from 7.7 to 13.5 m/s. It w as experimentally shown that time evolution of patch foam structures i s exponential character. New specific group of sea wave breaking, name d microbreakings, was detected.
