Sensible heat flux from ocean to air.

Also, diabatic heating of ocean from sun.

Heat transfer coefficient of pure seawater vs seawater mixed with oil and/or dispersants.

Trying to find numbers on the web but can't.

Only thing so far is that oil mixed with water has a lower heat transfer coefficient than just seawater.

Also, heat capacity is lower.

HMMMM.
