Abstract: We report the measurement of the temperature field inside a fluid layer with a free surface, heated from below, in the unstable regime (thermocapillary instability or Marangoni effect). The measurements have been done when the convective flow was time dependent. We show the evolution of the temperature spatial distribution in the periodic and biperiodic regimes. We also discuss the main differences of the temperature field between Rayleigh-Benard and Marangoni instabilities.
