Video image, TIR image, and spectra of the TIR image showing coherent ramp structures in the upper ocean. The lack of coherent parallel features in the video imagery suggests that the ocean surface features observed in the TIR imagery are not related to surface gravity waves. Here, the skewness of the temperature variability is 2.8, strongly suggestive of “billows” from shear-induced overturning.

Questions
• How do MABL structure and surface flux fields during CAOs in CLIMODE compare with other, previously measured WBCs?
• What are the small-scale features in the SST field and how do they relate to air-sea exchange processes?
• Why is this the region of annual-maximum heat flux? Are the CAOs stronger here or more frequent?
• Is there a local heat balance in the upper ocean?
• How well do aircraft-, buoy- and ship-measured surface fluxes compare with each other and with satellite estimates?
• Can front-parallel wind stresses be related to cold surface advection across the Gulf Stream SST front?
