Abstract
The transport dynamics of tributyltin (TBT) between the surface microl ayer and subsurface water were studied in experimental systems which s imulated different surface sea states. A dynamic model was derived fro m a diffusion equation to describe the dynamics of the TBT transport p rocess. With this dynamic model diffusion coefficients were determined , and the effects of surface sea states and temperature on the TBT tra nsport process between the surface microlayer and subsurface water vs ere also studied. Turbulence, breaking waves and elevated temperature can accelerate this transport. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
