Annotation

The mean square of the slope of a wavy ocean surface is known to differ from zero even in the absence of wind. It is shown that practically for the entire water area of the World Ocean this phenomenon can be accounted for by the influence on the ocean surface of persistent irregular seismic shifts of the ocean bottom. Numtrical estimates of the expected effect are presented.
