Heat exchange

Storyboard

The exchange of heat between the atmosphere and the ocean refers to the process by which the atmosphere transfers or absorbs heat from the ocean, thereby equalizing the temperatures between the two.

Equations

In the Monin-Obukhov Similarity Theory (MOST), the surface heat energy, represented by

$\rho_a c_p (T_z - T_0)$



is transferred to the water with the transfer coefficient $C_H$ and the air velocity $U_z$, resulting in the heat flux.

In the case of heat flux, the heat content is estimated using density, specific heat, and temperature, along with the wind velocity and the transmission coefficient. In this way, the heat flux can be expressed as follows:
