Abstract
A study on the temperature waves within the sea water mass for the 
time interval elapsed between 1959 and 1969 is reported; the study 
is bassed on the results of the oceanographic investigations and 
measurements carried out in the Black Sea along the Romanian coast
by the former Waters State Committee. Direct measurements showed 
that the temperature of the various deep water layers changes 
periodically, having a variable amplitude and phase shift. By 
making use of the SCHMIDT-FOURIER proccess the annual average 
value of the heat propagation coefficient is determined for 
different depth horizons. It was found out that the vertical 
variation of the heat propagation coefficient in the sea water 
is of an exponential type. At the water surface, the value of the 
heat propagation coefficient is 36 sq.cm./sec.
