Heat storage in the Andaman Sea in upper 20 m, where a strong halocline seems to inhibit vertical heat transport has been evaluated and discussed in relation to the other parameters of heat budget. Estimation of annual evaporation gives rise to 137 cm compared to the range of 110-150 cm evaluated earlier usi1lg empirical formulae.
