CHAPTER 6Air-Sea Interaction
• The atmosphere and the ocean are coupled in many ways.
• Earth has seasons because of the tilt on its axis.• There are three major wind belts in each hemisphere.• The Coriolis effect influences atmosphere and ocean
behavior.• Oceanic climate patterns are related to solar energy
distribution.

• Storms typically develop at fronts.
• Jet Stream – may cause unusual weather by steering air masses.

an angle to the wind.• The Ekman spiral
describes speed and direction of seawater flow at different depths.
• Each successive layer moves increasingly to the right in the Northern Hemisphere– Coriolis effect

Geostrophic Flow• Ekman transport piles up
water within subtropical gyres.
• Surface water flows downhill and to the right.
• Geostrophic flow – balance of Coriolis Effect and gravitational forces
• Ideal geostrophic flow• Friction generates actual
geostrophic flow

Coastal Upwelling
• Ekman transport moves surface seawater offshore.
• Cool, nutrient-rich deep water comes up to replace displaced surface waters.
• Example: U.S. West Coast

Thermohaline Circulation
![Page 33: Water’s Three States of Matter Water’s Thermal Properties Water is solid, liquid, and gas at Earth’s surface. Water influences Earth’s heat budget.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013101/56649f1f5503460f94c36ad0/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

The term thermohaline circulation (THC) refers to a part of the large-scale ocean circulation that is driven by global density gradients created by surface heat and freshwater fluxes. The adjective thermohaline derives from thermo- referring to temperature and -haline referring to salt content, factors which together determine the density of sea water. Wind-driven surface currents (such as the Gulf Stream) travel polewards from the equatorial Atlantic Ocean, cooling enroute, and eventually sinking at high latitudes (forming North Atlantic Deep Water). This dense water then flows into the ocean basins . While the bulk of it upwells in the Southern Ocean, the oldest waters (with a transit time of around 1600 years) upwell in the North Pacific.
Extensive mixing therefore takes place between the ocean basins, reducing differences between them and making the Earth's oceans a global system. On their journey, the water masses transport both energy (in the form of heat) and matter (solids, dissolved substances and gases) around the globe. As such, the state of the circulation has a large impact on the climate of the Earth.
