Coupled ocean-atmosphere models /
The exchange of momentum, heat, moisture, gases (such as CO₂ and O₂) and salt between the atmosphere and the ocean is a phenomenon of paramount importance for the dynamics of the atmosphere and the ocean. With the pressing need for reliable climate forecast (e.g. to deal with severe food and energy...
