Example 1) The ocean is losing heat to atmosphere (skin colder than
first few meters of ocean).
Any surface and
the first few meters of water would probably be deadly for radiation, but they would also produce a «rain» of oxidants: a substitute for light?
They can turn it on for
the first few meters on icy roads, but other than that it's just dead weight.
The skin is warmer than
the first few meters of ocean.
Bulk is in reference to the ocean mixed layer — i.e. what you'd get if you sampled
the first few meters of ocean.
The temperature difference between the skin and
the first few meters of the ocean is reduced.
The first few meters of the ocean warms faster.
He continued, «It is definitely a sublime feeling to lift off, fly
the first few meters, and then actually take my hand off the joystick and think that, yeah, it's really as if I'm standing on the ground, and then I look down and there are 20 - 25 meters beneath me.
