Abstract

The conservation of thermal energy applied to the upper layer of the ocean is used together with parameterizations of the heating and transport terms in order to simulate the sea surface temperature, the annual cycle of the radiation balance, the latent and sensible heat fluxes and the rate of oceanic heat storage in the Gulf of Mexico. The results are compared with those obtained by other authors.
