Heat Flux

Heat flux between the ocean and atmosphere is formed by the net sum of all the heat transfer processes: solar and terrestrial radiation; heat conduction and evaporation. The ocean gains heat in low latitudes and loses heat in high latitudes; the largest heat loss is drawn from the warm Gulf Stream waters off the east coast of the US and the Kuroshio Current in Japan. It is in these regions that the atmosphere takes over as the major meridional heat transfer agent.
