The transport dynamics of tributyltin (TBT) between the surface microlayer and subsurface water were studied in experimental systems which simulated different surface sea states. A dynamic model was derived from a diffusion equation to describe the dynamics of the TBT transport process. With this dynamic model diffusion coefficients were determined, and the effects of surface sea states and temperature on the TBT transport process between the surface microlayer and subsurface water were also studied. Turbulence, breaking waves and elevated temperature can accelerate this transport. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
