Key Equations

$$\text{OHC} = \int_{-H}^{0} \rho(z)\, c_p(z)\, T(z)\, dz$$
$$\Delta\text{OHC} = \int_{-H}^{0} \rho\, c_p\, \Delta T(z)\, dz \approx \rho_0 c_p \int_{-H}^{0} \Delta T(z)\, dz$$
$$\Delta \eta_{\text{thermo}} = \int_{-H}^{0} \frac{\alpha(T,S,p)}{\rho c_p}\, \Delta Q(z)\, dz \approx \frac{\alpha_0}{\rho_0 c_p}\, \Delta\text{OHC}$$
$$\Delta F = \lambda \Delta T + \frac{d(\text{OHC})}{dt \cdot A_{\text{ocean}}}$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
