For those who don't know..
IN the first ten microns of water (sea water in this case) is a region where evaporation occurs and the area just below it it is COOLER than the surface, making it next to impossible for warming to occur from above it. Only solar radiation or water warming on land and then entering the ocean can cause small area warming..
But Crick is totally ignorant of these basic properties of water...
You say the surface is warmer than the water underneath, but insist that no heat transfer takes place. Or (since you write poorly) you are saying that the air above the ocean's surface is cooler than the water. That would make net conduction a little tough leaving virtually no way for the ocean to be heated. I guess the ocean is just a solid block of ice in Billy's world.
You are one ******* idiot.
"Much of the direct and diffuse solar short wave (less than 2 micros, mostly in the visible range) electromagnetic radiation that reaches the sea surface penetrates the ocean (the ocean has a low albedo, except when the sun is close to the horizon), heating the sea water down to about 100 to 200 meters, depending on the water clarity.
It is within this thin sunlit surface layer of the ocean that the process of photosynthesis can occur.
Solar heating of the ocean on a global average is 168 watts per square meter."

Billy Bob, you seem to be totally ignorant of these basic properties of water. Had you ever heard of photosynthesis?
