[1] Observations from moored buoys during spring of 1998–2000 suggest that the warming of the mixed layer (∼20 m deep) of the north Indian Ocean warm pool is a response to net surface heat flux Qnet (∼100 W m−2) minus penetrative solar radiation Qpen (∼45 W m−2). A residual cooling due to vertical mixing and advection is indirectly estimated to be about 25 W m−2. The rate of warming due to typical values of Qnet minus Qpen is not very sensitive to the depth of the mixed layer if it lies between 10 m and 30 m.
