Evidence of Subarctic Water Mass Intrusions at Ocean Weather Station November.
A divergent heat budget equation which included the effects of surface heat flux, horizontal and vertical advection, and horizontal divergence on the near-surface heat content was used to examine the role of thermal advection in the upper 250m of the water column at Ocean Weather Station NOVEMBER.
