Marc has taught Bachelor level students climate science and has a PhD in climate science. Cite this lesson Energy transfer in the atmosphere, ocean, and Earth's interior occurs as a result of three basic processes: convection, conduction, and radiation. In this lesson, you will explore these ...
When winds blow over the ocean surface and cause evaporative cooling (i.e. loss of heat energy from the ocean), what happens to the heat energy that leaves the ocean surface? It is transferred from the ocean to the atmosphere as latent heat in the form of atmospheric water vapor. What ...
which is the relationship between the ocean isotopic composition and the atmospheric oxygen isotopic composition. It isn’t directly relevant to the discussion of proxies here, because the ocean is the massive reservoir of18O and the amount in the atmosphere is very small in comparison (1/1000)...
La Niña, cyclic counterpart to El Niño, consisting of a cooling of surface waters of the Pacific Ocean along the western coast of South America. While its local effects on weather and climate are generally the opposite of those associated with El N
Paleoclimatologists are researchers who concentrate on ancient climate patterns. Scientists who investigate atmospheric structure and dynamics within the boundary layer (the layer of the atmosphere closest to Earth’s surface) are referred to as boundary layer meteorologists or micrometeorologists.
