Surface microlayer samples were collected in the open sea with the simultaneous use of three different techniques. The thinnest water layer, 10 žm on average was collected with a teflon plate (TPM), 90 žm thick samples were collected with a glass plate (GPM) and 250 žm samples with a screen (SM). The sampling was performed under variable weather conditions. The microlayer thickness was found to increase with increasing wind speed. Glass plate and screen samples were influenced by the sea state. The intensification of turbulence in the surface layer was responsible for increased advective transport of organic matter and its accumulation near the sea surface and the greater thickness of the microlayer. When the wind speed exceeded 8 ms-1 (5oB), the microlayer thickness was observed to decrease gradually. The thickness of a microlayer collected by teflon plate was found to be inversely proportional to the wind speed. The classic screen method turned out to be the most useful of the techniques examined because of its relatively short sampling time and large sample volume. This technique is also applicable in inclement weather, when mechanical samplers are useless.
