Hühnerfuss, H., Walter, W., Lange, P.A. and Alpers, W. (1987). Attenuation of wind waves by monomolecular sea slicks and the Marangoni effect. Journal of Geophysical Research 92: doi: 10.1029/JC092iC04p03961. issn: 0148-0227.

Previous observations of wind wave damping by monomolecular surface films (''slicks'') have shown a pronounced energy detraction (''dip'') in the short gravity wave range of the wind wave spectra. In this work, wind wave tunnel experiments with mechanically generated water waves have supplied experimental evidence which clearly shows that this dip is predominantly caused by the film-induced ''Marangoni effect.'' ¿American Geophysical Union 1987
