Abstract
The paper shows that, by virtue of the specific water circulation in the south-eastern Indian Ocean, thermal influx within the 0–200 m layer exceeds the efflux by 13.5×1015 MJ per year, which, being recalculated for the entire area, is equivalent to about 2200 MJ m−2. Computations of the heat fluxes through the sea surface in that part of the ocean indicate that thermal efflux to the atmosphere is larger than the influx of solar heat by about 1500 (on average, for the entire area), rather than by 2200 MJ m−2 per year. Hence, about 700 MJm−2 penetrate through the lower boundary of the layer and warm up the deeper ocean layers.
