Abstract

The equation for the turbulence kinetic energy balance as applied to the horizontally-inhomogeneous upper ocean layer encompassing the equatorial zone is analysed. A partial solution of the equation has been derived for the equilibrium conditions. Using the equatorial Atlantic as an example, the prime importance of considering the effect of horizontal heterogeneity in calculating the upper mixed layer thickness is shown.
