Abstract
Several continuous temperature profiles made in 1977 over the 
Romanian continental shelf revealed, for the first time, the
existence of a fine structure with characteristic horizontal 
space scale of the order of 10-15 km and verticale scales of
2-5 m. Repeated profiling in a fixed point allowed the time
evolution of the fine structure to be observed.
