% where: |

% alpha = 2.5*E-4 1/K is the thermal expansion coefficient |
8 |
% f = 2*OMEGA*sin(LAT) is the Coriolis parameter |
9 |
% Qnet is the net surface heat flux (W/m^2), positive downward |
10 |
% MLD is the mixed layer depth (m, positive) |
11 |
% Cw = 4187 J/kg/K is the specific heat of seawater |
