  1. Ocean Heating and Coolingby: Codi Santana

  2. Heatingand Cooling • The suns energy is responsible for warming the earths surface. • The earths atmosphere absorbs some of the radiant energy before it strikes the earth. • The decrease is due to the longer paths, that the suns rays must travel.

  3. Heating and Cooling • Since the earths temperature is not increasing, heat must be lost as well as gained. • Of the remaining solar radiation most is absorbed by the earth surface, and the rest by the atmosphere. • So at the end of the day, an equivalent amount of heat energy is reradiated back into space.

  4. Ocean and Cooling • The excess energy must be transferred from the earth to the atmosphere, to maintain the earths atmosphere!!! • Energy from the earths surface is used to produce water vapor from liquid water by evaporation!!!!

  5. Ocean Heating and Cooling • The amount of solar radiation reaching the earth undergoes an annual cycle of seasonal variations. • More heat is gained rather than lost in the region around the equator.
