Abstract
Describes physics underlying observed patterns of sea surface temperature and heat flux in World Ocean, with particular reference to physical mechanisms responsible for maintaining observed pattern of surface heat flux in Southern Hemisphere and Southern Ocean. Includes sea surface temperature and air-sea heat exchange; Ekman drifts and heat fluxes; Sverdrup relation, overturning cells, and strength of western boundary currents; currents and heat fluxes; meridional ocean heat transport; interbasis exchange; air-sea-ice exchange and water-mass formation; influence of oceans on climate change and variability CN - (*7) : 551.5[1998]
