almost exclusively on days when Assuming that this locally derived relationship holds approximately over the tropics, the importance of diurnal warm layer development can now be assessed across the tropical ocean basins. Daily maps of predicted warm layer occurrence, using Eq. (20) , are calculated from daily maps of TropFlux surface shortwave radiation flux and wind speed, from 1 January 1979 to 31 December 2011. A diurnal warm layer is predicted to occur on over 25% of days over the tropical warm
