The ocean plays a central role for the climate of the earth. Storage and transport by the oceanic circulation control the temporal evolution of climate change resulting from the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and affect magnitude and regional distribution of those changes.On interannual and longer time scales the ocean is furthermore, through interaction with the atmosphere, a source of important natural climate variability. Chemical and biological processes in the ocean also are strongly coupled to climate change, particularly through the global carbon cycle. This book contains a series of lectures discussing the complex processes and interactions that link the ocean to the climate system, and covers topics from the fields of physical, chemical and biological oceanography as well as meteorology. The focus is on modeling ocean circulation dynamics, hydrological processes in the atmosphere, tropical ocean-atmosphere interactions, and the oceanic carbon cycle.
