Abstract: A heat budget for observations at current meters in the mixing layer beneath a freely drifting spar buoy showed that the buoy must be in a convergence zone, where transport of warm water downwards enhances the diurnal ...

Abstract: During a 5-day period in late winter 1984, temperature were measured at 9 depths beneath a drifting spar buoy to a relative accuracy of 2 mK. The depths ranged from 15 to 145 m in a mixing layer that was nearly homogeneous ...
