Abstract
An analysis of databases of photographic images of ocean's surface, taken from various altitudes and for various types of rough ocean surface, revealed the presence of an ocean's skeletal structures (OSS). The OSSs differ from the formerly found skeletal structures (SS) only by the fact that OSS, in their interior, are filled in with closely packed blocks of a smaller size, up to thin capillaries of tens of micron in size. According to suggested hypothesis, the structure-forming dust is produced due to volcanic activity and atmospheric electricity. Such SS may fall on the ocean surface and produce an OSS. This idea is supported by the adsorption of air bubbles in the water by the SS to give a partial flotation of SS. In the sea water, various substances in different phase states of matter are in touch. This suggests the hypothesis, for the possibility of the action of surface tension even on the blocks of SS which is immersed in the sea. This phenomenon results in the aggregation of blocks deposited from the atmosphere on the ocean's surface, to form eventually an OSS. The skeletal structuring assumes that the individual straight and rather strong blocks may be joined flexibly, similarly to joints in a skeleton. We make a stress on the phenomenon of OSS's blocks in the form of vertically oriented floating cylinders because here we suggest the hypothesis that the VFC's strength and floating is determined by; a capillary model of an OSS.
