Consider the following conditions: Location: the tropics Bowen ratio: 0.1 Net radiation: 400 W m −2
Depth of the oceanic mixed layer: 50 m Heat flux to the water below the oceanic mixed layer: negligible Rate of warming of the oceanic mixed layer: 0.05 ∘
C day −1
Sea surface temperature: 30 ∘
C a. Estimate the sensible heat flux, the latent heat flux, and the rate of evaporation (in mm day −1
). b. What will be the rate of warming or cooling of the 50 -m-deep oceanic mixed layer in a region of intense cold-air advection where the Bowen ratio is 0.5, the surface net radiation is −50 W m −2
, and the rate of evaporation is
