                         temperature (SST)anomalies. Ping Chang and Li (1997)proposed that 
                         decadal variations in the tropical SST dipole may be attributed to 
                         a thermodynamically unstable ocean-atmosphere interaction between 
                         wind-induced heat fluxes and SST anomalies. Within this framework 
                         the importance of the heat flux estimation through the tropical 
                         ocean surface becomes evident. The main objective of this study is 
                         to estimate each component of the heat budget equation (Equation 
                         2)in the Pilot Research Moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic 
                         (PIRATA)region. In addition, the contribution of each heat 
                         component to the temperature tendency of the mixed layer is 
                         estimated.",
