Climate change is arguably the most important environmental issue of the century. Many people connect climate change with a warming of the atmosphere, but other elements of the climate system also play an important role. The oceans are particularly significant, since they affect both the timing and regional impact of climate change.

Ocean productivity and climate change
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1990Satellite measurements and the development of new techniques have confirmed the importance of ocean biology in controlling the carbon dioxide (CO(2)) content of the atmosphere. The marine sedimentary record shows that climate change and the ocean carbon cycle are closely linked: during glacial periods, marine productivity was enhanced and atmospheric ...

Ocean eddies and climate predictability
Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2017A suite of coupled climate model simulations and experiments are used to examine how resolved mesoscale ocean features affect aspects of climate variability, air-sea interactions, and predictability. In combination with control simulations, experiments with the interactive ensemble coupling strategy are used to further amplify the role of the oceanic ...

Continental Climate and Oceanic Climate
2021Let's find out that in the summer it is cooler by the sea than on the land and that water cools off more slowly than soil.

Abstract The ocean has a key role in the Earth’s energy budget, primarily by contributing to the massive poleward transport of heat that is required to balance the latitudinal gradient in mean solar input. This meridional transport of energy is divided roughly equally between the atmosphere and the ocean, and if the ocean were not ...

The roofline model for oceanic climate applications
2014 International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation (HPCS), 2014The present work describes the analysis and optimisation of the PELAGOS025 configuration based on the coupling of the NEMO physic component of the ocean dynamics and the BFM (Biogeochemical Flux Model), a sophisticated biogeochemical model that can simulate both pelagic and benthic processes.

Climate and the Tropical Oceans*
Journal of Climate, 1999Abstract An attempt is made to determine the role of the ocean in establishing the mean tropical climate and its sensitivity to radiative perturbations. A simple two-box energy balance model is developed that includes ocean heat transports as an interactive component of the tropical climate system.

The Ocean as a Component of the Climate System
2013Abstract A broad perspective of the ocean as a key component of the Earth System and of its role in the past, present, and future climate change is provided. The ocean is a huge reservoir of heat, mass, carbon, and many other quantities, and their estimated exchange fluxes suggest characteristic timescales of adjustment ranging from decades to many ...

The Role of the Ocean in Climate and Climate Change
1991The ocean plays a key role in the climate system of the earth. Its characteristics are so very different from those of the land that without it the earth’ s climate would be quite unlike the one we know. Because of the ocean, temperature ranges are very much reduced, particularly in regions not too remote from the coast.
