METEOROLOGICAL FACTORS AFFECTING MIXED-LAYER DEPTH FLUCTUATION

Abstract

The general problem of modification of the ocean's thermal structure by meteorological influences is discussed. Meteorological factors associated with mixed-layer depth fluctuation at three ocean stations in the open Pacific Ocean are evaluated and discussed. Sea-surface temperature correlation with mixed-layer depth at ocean station PAPA to support the meteorological influence is also evaluated and discussed.
