Abstract

Differences between surface and subsurface water-temperature are causcd by evaporation, long-wave radiation and exchange of sensible heat. The relative importance of these three components is discussed, especially with aid of observations under neutral conditions. Evaporation as well as hack radiation contributes to a cooling of the surface of 0.1 to 0.2 centigrade under neutral conditions, while under diahatic conditions greater surface temperature deviations are caused by heat exchange.
