Heat Exchange: Qtotal = Qs -(Qb + Qe + Qh)
Qh 24 watts/m2
Qb, 66 watts/m2
long wave terrestial radiation
Qs, 168 watts/m2
Short wave solar radiation
Qe, 78 watts/m2
evaporation
Freshwater Exchange = Precipitation - Evaporation
Heat Flux between the ocean and atmosphere

There is a lot of subsurface heat,separated from the surface mixed layer by a weak pycnocline.Slight changes in stratificationwould induce big changes in vertical heat flux and of the wintersea ice cover
Stratification under a full sea ice cover, Weddell sea
