Convective Boundary Layer Control of the Sea Surface Temperature in the Tropics
Abstract Using successive versions of a global climate model, we show how convective transport to the free troposphere of the humidity evaporated at the surface or, reciprocally, entrainment of dry air from the free troposphere into the mixed layer, controls surface evaporative cooling and then sea...
