Changes in mixed layer temperature due to surface heat fluxes account for ~75% of the variance for the quadrangles along 6°S, ~50% along 0 °, and ~25% along 6°N. Addition of zonal advection reduces the residual variances, but not significantly; east of 20°W the small variance reduction may be due to the neglect of coastal and equatorial upwelling and meridional advection. A model, assuming an annual cycle for mixing at the base of the mixed layer, significantly reduces the residual variance at 0 °, 5°W. NOAA, AOML, 4301 Rickenbacker Cause- way, Miami, FL 33149, USA.
