“…The upper few meters of the ocean warm and then cool over the course of a diurnal cycle. Under very light wind speed conditions (less than 2 m/s) the upper few meters of the ocean can warm several degrees (Stramma et al, 1986;Yokoyama and Konda, 1996). For these conditions, turbulence is thought to be suppressed by the positive buoyancy flux due to penetrative solar radiation (Webster et al, 1996;Soloviev and Lukas, 1997).…”
