Classification and Analysis/Forecasting of Near-Surface Ocean Thermal Structure.

The near-surface ocean thermal structure (surface to ca 400 m) is classified into nine distinct types. The time and space distribution of these types is briefly discussed. A rational method for analysis/prediction of mixed layer depth (MLD) and near-surface thermal structure, which has produced sati...

Description
Summary:The near-surface ocean thermal structure (surface to ca 400 m) is classified into nine distinct types. The time and space distribution of these types is briefly discussed. A rational method for analysis/prediction of mixed layer depth (MLD) and near-surface thermal structure, which has produced satisfactorily verifiable results, is described and flow diagrams for it are given.
