Description Diurnal variability of the surface fluxes and ocean heat content was studied using the time-series data on marine surface meteorological parameters and upper ocean temperature collected at an oceanic station in the Bay of Bengal during 1st to 8th November, 1985. During this period the mean heat storage in the upper 125 m water column is found to be 300 W.m-2. The net surface heat fluxes indicate a mean loss of 37 W.m-2 across the sea surface. Estimation of the heat flux divergence at residual from the complete heat budget equation for ocean indicates that a mean heat flux divergence of 263 W.m-2 is required in order to achieve a complete heat balance for the period of study
