Idealized temperature profiles of the near-surface layer (10-m depth)
of the ocean. Schematic diagram showing (a) idealized night-time
vertical temperature deviations from SST fnd (foundation SST) and (b)
idealized day-time vertical temperature deviations from SST fnd in the
upper ocean (The GHRSST-PP International Project Office 2008; Donlon
et al. 2002)
