Abstract
Short‐term diurnal heating and cooling data from the Tongue of the Ocean, Bahamas, are presented and discussed. The method of acquiring the time series data and the method of presentation arc reviewed. A 7‐day diurnal heating study is discussed in relation to the vertical diffusion of heat and its relation to meteorological parameters.Results of a 24‐hr diurnal heating experiment are presented, and thermal eddy diffusion coefficients are derived and compared with those obtained by other methods. An approximate heat budget calculation is performed whereby essentially all of the energy input and output are accounted for, utilizing the diurnal time series temperature data.
