Betyeen 2 and 21 September 1959, approximately 900 bathythermograph obser- 

 vations (BT's) were obtained at Ocean Weather Station ECHO (35°N, k8°^) . In 

 addition, incoming radiation from sun and sky and reflected radiation from the 

 sea surface were recorded. By grouping the BT data according to cloud amount, 

 mean hourly temperatures were obtained. Estimates of heat absorption, evaporation 

 and changes in horizontal heat content (advection) for clear, nartly cloudy, and 

 cloudy skies were derived from these mean temperatures. The ocean was assumed 

 to be neither gaining nor losing heat during this season of the year. For clear 

 skies, evaporative heat loss exceeded long wave (back radiation^ heat loss; for 

 cloudy skies, condensation resulted in a net gain of heat. Hourly mean tempera- 

 tures and temperature gradients are presented. Surface temperature was changed 

 about 0.1^ by evaporative heat flux and a comparable amount by horizontal heat 

 flux.
