Abstract

In situ data compiled during Cruise 52 of the R/VMikhail Lomonosov in May 1990 have been used to study the space-time variability of the near-surface temperature, with weak wind blowing. Temperature fluctuations within the layer of diurnal warming are shown to be primarily controlled by the heterogeneity of the wind-induced mixing and to be capable of indicating internal waves. The data on the manifestation of internal waves over a bottom rise are submitted, along with the statistical characteristics of temperature fluctuations in a cycle of solar warming.
