Modelling Oceanic Climate Interactions: Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Modelling of Oceanic Climate Interactions, Held at Les ... February 17-28, 1992: v. 11 (NATO ASI) - Tapa dura
Sinopsis
The ocean plays a central role in the climate of the Earth. Storage and transport, by oceanic circulation, control the temporal evolution of climate change resulting from the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and affect the magnitude and regional distribution of the changes. Chemical and biological processes in the ocean are also strongly coupled to climate change, particularly through the global carbon cycle. This text contains a series of lectures discussing the complex processes and interactions that link the ocean to the climate system. It covers topics from the fields of physical, chemical and biological oceanography as well as meteorology. Emphasis is placed on modelling ocean circulation dynamics, hydrological processes in the atmosphere, tropical ocean-atmosphere interactions, and the oceanic carbon cycle.

Reseña del editor
The ocean plays a central role in determining the climate of the earth. The oceanic circulation largely controls the temporal evolution of cli mate changes resulting from human activities such as the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and also affects the magnitude and regional distribution of those changes. On interannual and longer time scales the ocean is, through its interaction with the atmosphere, a source of important natural climate variations which we are only now beginning to recognise but whose cause has yet to be properly determined. Chem ical and biological processes in the ocean are linked to climate change, particularly through interaction with the global carbon cycle. A quantitative understanding of the oceanic role in the climate system requires models which include many complex processes and interactions, and which are systematically verified with observations. This is the ob jective of global research programs such as TOGA, WOCE, and JGOFS. Coupled numerical models of the oceanic and atmospheric circulation constitute the basis of every climate simulation. Increasingly it is recog nized that in addition a biological/chemical component is necessary to capture the pathways of carbon and other trace gases. The development of such coupled models is a challenging task which needs scientists who must be cognizant of several other disciplines beyond their own specialty.
