HEAT ABSORPTION AND HEAT BUDGET AT OCEAN STATION ECHO, SEPTEMBER 1959.
Between 2 and 21 September 1959, approximately 900 bathythermograph observations (BT's) were obtained at Ocean Weather Station ECHO (35 deg N, 48 deg W). In addition, incoming radiation from sun and sky and reflected radiation from the sea surface were recorded. By grouping the BT data accordin...
