Biophysical coupling in the ocean mixed layer
Sea surface temperature (SST) controls surface fluxes of heat and moisture and so helps determine the state of the atmosphere, particularly in the tropics. Chlorophyll modulates the absorption of shortwave radiation and modelling studies have shown that chlorophyll concentration affects SST. A hiera...
