Towards closure of regional heat budgets in the North Atlantic using Argo floats and surface flux datasets
Description: The upper ocean heat budget (0-300 m) of the North Atlantic from 20°-60° N is investigated using data from Argo profiling floats for 1999-2005 and the NCEP/NCAR and NOC surface flux datasets. Estimates of the different terms in the budget (heat storage, advection, diffusion and surface exchange) are obtained using the methodology developed by Hadfield et al. (2007a, b).
