“…In addition, the change in the position of the UML lower boundary determines the participation of the deeper layers of the ocean in the exchange of heat with the atmosphere. The study of the UML heat balance plays an important role in understanding the processes that cause changes in the UML temperature [1][2][3][4][5].…”

The role of winter net heat fluxes (NHF) on the upper mixed layer (UML) temperature and depth variability over the North Atlantic is studied using ocean reanalysis data products. The monthly data from the ORA-S3 (1959–2011), GODAS (1980–2020), GECCO3 (1948–2018) datasets were used. The correlation coefficients were calculated between the anomalies of the NHF on the ocean surface and the UML temperature and depth with a shift of 1 month when the former were leading. In most of the North Atlantic, negative correlations between the UML temperature and the NHF preceding 1 month were found. Here, the UML temperature anomalies are probably caused by changes in heat exchange with the atmosphere. Areas of significant positive correlations across all data sets are concentrated in the area of the transition of the Gulf Stream to the North Atlantic Current. Almost the entire water area of the North Atlantic is occupied by positive correlations between the mixed layer depth in winter and the NHF on the ocean surface, with the latter leading for 1 month.
