The diurnal heat wave was observed over several days at a station in the subtropical North Atlantic Ocean. Measurements were made every 30 min using an in situ temperature‐salinity‐depth recorder; the isotherms were plotted (to an accuracy 0.01C) at 2‐m depth intervals. For a day of average conditions, the maximum penetration of the discernible heat wave was to about 30 m, but throughout the cycle approximately 80% of the gain of heat in the water column was confined to the top 14 m. Estimates of the coefficient of vertical eddy diffusion were made at several depths, and for the top 4 m the daily values varied between 93 cm2/sec and 432 cm2/sec.

ABSTRACT:This article explores some of the ways in which the closely regulated layouts and property boundaries within Scottish medieval towns may have influenced the form and character of domestic buildings during the late medieval and early modern periods. Drawing together strands of scattered evidence from archaeology, morphology, history and architecture, it re-examines how plot boundaries, main thoroughfares and subsidiary access passages acted as site constraints in relation to the design and configuration of individual structures or groups of buildings, focusing in particular on building frontages and so-called ‘encroachments’ such as booths, stairs, galleries and arcades.
