Abstract
A simple solar heat input model applicable to a stagnant, incompressible and horizontally stratified ocean is presented. The model demands only a single optical input parameter in order to work. Three (four) such different input parameters have been selected for the reason that they are routinely measured on a global scale ensuring maximum solar heat input informations. The three versions of the model compare favorably with other more elaborate models.
