The interaction between ocean and atmosphere: a review
The atmosphere and the ocean may, from a functional point of view, be regarded as forming a coupled entity. They interact on a wide spatial range, from the molecular to the global. The necessity of considering the ocean and the atmosphere as a coupled system is illustrated most effectively if the in...

The atmosphere and the ocean may, from a functional point of view, be regarded as forming a coupled entity. They interact on a wide spatial range, from the molecular to the global.

This is done here by discussing the problem of an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide, the influence of sea surface temperatures on the weather and the global El Nino/Southern Oscillation phenomenon.
