Abstract The magnitude and variability in the vertical distribution of solar heating of the ocean is controlled by the concentration of pigments imaged by the Coastal Zone Colour Scanner. The vertical heating profile influences the thermal structure and dynamics of the upper ocean on time-scales from the diurnal to the climatic, and can potentially be predicted from estimation of attenuance from remote observation of ocean colour. Examples are given from a frontal region and the equatorial ocean. It is concluded that such observations would make a significant contribution to outstanding questions of the day in physical oceanography and climate research.
