Evaporative heat flux (Qe)51% of the heat input into the ocean is used for evaporation. Evaporation starts when the air over the ocean is unsaturated with moisture. Warm air can retain much more moisture than cold air.
The rate of heat loss: tee LFQ ⋅=
Fe is the rate of evaporation of water in kg/(m2 s).
Lt is latent heat of evaporation in kJ.
For pure water, kgkJtLt )2.22494( −= . t~ water temperature (oC).
t=10oC, Lt=2472 kJ/kg.t=100oC, Lt=2274 kJ/kg.
In general, Fe is parameterized with bulk formulae:dz

Ke is diffusion coefficient for water vapor due to turbulent eddy transfer in the
atmosphere. It is dependent on wind speed, size of ripples, and waves at sea surface, etc. de/dz is the gradient of water vapor concentration in the air above the sea surface.

es is the saturated vapor pressure over the sea-water (unit: kilopascals, 10mb)
The saturated vapor pressure over the sea water (es) is smaller than that over distilled water (ed). For S=35, es=0.98ed(ts). V is wind speed (m/s). Ts is sea surface temperature (oC)
ea is the actual vapor pressure in the air at a height of 10 m above sea level. If
the atmospheric variable is relative humidity (RH), ea=RH x ed(ta).
Example:Ta=15oC, ed = 1.71 kPa = 12.8 mm Hg,
RH=85%, then ea= 1.71 x 0.85 kPa= 1.45 kPa.

1 and 1/2 layer flow
Simplest case of baroclinic flow:
Two layer flow of density 1 and 2.
The sea surface height is =(x,y) (In steady state, =0). The depth of the upper layer is at z=d(x,y)<0. The lower layer is at rest.

Argo is a global array of 3,000 free-drifting profiling floats that measures the temperature and salinity of the upper 2000 m of the ocean. This allows, for the first time, continuous monitoring of the temperature, salinity, and velocity of the upper ocean, with all data being relayed and made publicly available within hours after collection.
