A Simple Atmospheric Model of Surface Heat Flux for Use in Ocean Modeling Studies
A simple model of the lower atmospheric layers and land/sea ice surface is described and analyzed. The model is able to depict with reasonable accuracy the global ocean heat fluxes. Due to the model's simplicity, insight into the mechanisms underlying particular heat flux responses is possible....
