This coefficient is supposed to be in the form of a constant plus a time and depth function. In climatological time scales, the constant coefficient is sufficient for the description of annual temperature changes in the lower part (approximately 10-21 m depth) of the water column. For the upper part of the column, the possible range of values of the coefficient for the shallow Gulf of Trieste is discussed.
