Mechanisms controlling the SST air-sea heat flux feedback and its dependence on spatial scale

The turbulent air-sea heat flux feedback (α, in W m[superscript −2] K[superscript −1]) is a major contributor to setting the damping timescale of sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies. In this study we compare the spatial distribution and magnitude of αα in the North Atlantic and the Southern Ocea...
