The paper contains the results of studies of natural surface film adsorption kinetics carried out in inland waters and in shallow offshore regions of the Baltic Sea during 2000-01 under calm sea conditions. The novel approach presented here for the adsorption dynamics is based on the mixed kinetic-diffusion model and analyses of the surface pressure-time plots at short (t →0) and long( t →∞) adsorption time intervals. Values of the effective relative diffusion coefficient Deff / D (= 0.008-0.607) and energy barrier for adsorption Ea / RT (= 0.49-7.10) agree well with the data reported for model non-ionic surfactant solutions of pre-cmc concentrations. Wind speed is one of the factors affecting the adsorption barrier via the increased surface pressure of the natural film exposed to wind shear stress (~ U102), and enters the relation Ea / RT = 1.70 U101/3.
