Abstract
We consider the diurnal variations of water temperature in the upper layer of the sea and the gradual increase of the water temperature at the sea surface after the cooling due to the passage of typhoon 5906.
Among many factors contributing to the heat budget, advective transfer of heat is neglected and outgoing heat from the sea surface is assumed to be constant throughout a day.
Within the water the vertical heat transfer due to the conduction is considered.
The result of these calculations is as follows: the daily range of the surface water temperature is 1.2°C, 0.8°C and 0.65°C as the amount of clouds is 0, 5.5 and 7.0 respectively in assuming heat transfer coefficient is 0.55 cal/sec. And the increase of the water temperature in a day is about 0.25°C, 0.1°C and 0.05°C respectively in the case shown above.
