New Global Estimate of Turbulent Ocean Heat Flux Released
Original: Global Estimate of Turbulent Heat Flux
Researchers with the Ocean Observatories Initiative have produced a global estimate of turbulent heat flux, the exchange of heat between the ocean and atmosphere driven by turbulence. The estimate matters for climate science because ocean-atmosphere heat transfer is a key uncertainty in models of global warming and weather patterns. Oceanographers are expected to use the dataset to refine climate projections.
Why now: A new scientific estimate of ocean-atmosphere heat exchange has just been published, drawing attention from climate and ocean researchers.
