The Temperature at the Ocean-Air InterfaceSource: Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences:;1967:;Volume( 024 ):;issue: 003::page 269Author:Saunders, Peter M.

Abstract: A simple theory is presented to account for the difference between the temperature at the ocean-air interface and that of the water at a depth of about one meter. Except in very light winds and intense solar radiation the mean temperature difference ?T is expected to be of the formwhere q is the sum of the sensible, latent, and long-wave radiative heat flux from ocean to atmosphere and τ/?w is the kinematic stress. No data are available to test this prediction. The influence of slicks and solar insolation on interface temperature is also briefly discussed.
