Starting from the heat balance equation two different mixed layer models are developed: a very simple vertically integrated, so-called “thermal slab model” and a one-dimensional temperature profile model. Both models have been applied to the JASIN data, representing the averaged conditions for an ocean area of 150 × 150 km2. Results for both model runs are presented. It is demonstrated that the temperature profile model in its presented form is capable of successfully reproducing the developments of the sea surface temperature, the heat budget, the mixed layer depth and the temperature profiles over a 2 month period. |
