A laboratory investigation of the momentum flux in the upper layer of water when regular monochromatic waves of considerable slope propagate is described. The distributions of the total and purely turbulent momentum fluxes with depth are obtained. The numerical values of the total momentum fluxes in the upper levels are approximately an order of magnitude greater than the momentum fluxes found from the pulsations of the vertical and horizontal velocity components.
