Abstract
The results of measuring the velocities of the particles of a two-layer liquid in standing parametrically excited waves are presented. The horizon on which the vertical harmonic components of the velocity are equal to zero is determined. It is established that the oscillatory motion of the particles is accompanied by a system of slow circulating flows.
