FUNCTION VAPW LANGUAGE - FORTRAN IV 



COMPUTER - IBM 1801/02 



(COPY ON FILE AT NODC) 



SUBPROGRAM CALCULATES SATURATION VAPOUR PRESSURE OVER WATER. INPUT IS 

 TEMPERATURE IN DEGR. K. USES AN EQUATION FROM SMITHSONIAN TABLES PAGE 

 350. THE FUNCTION CONVERTS THE LOG OUTPUT OF THIS EQUATION TO ACTUAL 

 PRESSURE IN MILLIBARS. N.I.O. PROG. NO. -24. AUTHOR — R. HOWARTH.

PREDICTION OF VERTICAL TEMPERATURE CHANGE LANGUAGE - FORTRAN

 (COPY ON FILE AT NODC) 



A TECHNIQUE BASED PRIMARILY ON HEAT BUDGET AND WIND MIXING CALCULA- 

 TIONS HAS BEEN DEVELOPED FOR PREDICTING THE VERTICAL THERMAL STRUCTURE 

 OF THE OCEAN. THE TECHNIQUE ESSENTIALLY MODIFIES THE INITIAL THERMAL 

 STRUCTURE THROUGH INCIDENT SOLAR RADIATION, BACK RADIATION, SENSIBLE 

 AND EVAPORATIVE HEAT EXCHANGE, CONVECTlVE HEAT TRANSFER IN THE WATER 

 MASS, AND WIND MIXING. PREDICTIONS ARt MADE AT 6-HOUR INTERVALS UNTIL 

 1200Z ON THE DATE OF FORECAST. THE PREDICTED BT IS PRINTED OUT, ALSO 

 CAN BE PLOTTED WITH A BENSON-LEHNER MODEL J PLOTTER. AUTHORS-- W.H. 

 GEMMILL AND D.B. NIX. REF. IMR NO. 0-42-65 (UNPUBLISHED MANUSCRIPT).
