Thermal Variations in Millstone Quarry.

Abstract

This report is a first attempt at rationalizing the time variations of the vertical thermal profile with existing theories on thermal mixing in the oceans. Application of present theories on thermal mixing require evaluating various physical constants. This report deals with the time and space variations of one of those physical constants - the vertical kinematic thermal eddy diffusitivity, K sub z.
