An Interpretation of Some Aspects of the MILOC 64 Surface-Layer Temperature Observations.
Abstract
Consideration is given to the effects on sea surface temperature of surface cooling - with the consequent advective formation of an isothermal mixed layer - and of total water depth. Multiple linear regressions of sea surface temperature and water depth on layer depth provided a statistically significant interpretation of the data. Comparisons between the standard error of estimate from such regression analyses and the standard deviation of layer depth values determined by replicate sampling in the same location during a short period, indicate that the above considerations are sufficient to explain the layer depth variations encountered in the MILOC 64 data.
