The ocean and the atmosphere form a complex coupled system, exchanging gases, water (and water vapour), particles, momentum, and energy at the air-sea interface. These exchanges affect the biological, chemical, and physical processes of the ocean and influence the water cycle, weather, and climate. The ocean affects Earth’s climate through the long-term consequences of these exchanges. For example, the ocean is a gigantic reservoir for CO2, which plays a critical role in shaping climate change.
This research topic intends to advance our knowledge and understanding of the role of the ocean-atmosphere interactions and exchanges on climate on a regional and global scale. Specifically, the topic will address the mechanisms involving the physics, chemistry, and biology of the ocean through observational and modelling studies. We would like to attract authors from around the world. The use of the most recent IPCC models/experiments is welcome and interdisciplinary studies are also strongly encouraged.
We seek papers on the following topics:
• Exchanges of greenhouse gases between the ocean and the atmosphere.
• Understanding biogeochemical and physical processes in the upper and lower ocean and their exchanges with the atmosphere
• Physical mechanisms regarding how the ocean influences the climate of the Earth.
• Climate projections modulated by changes within the ocean.
• Research on overarching themes of ocean-atmosphere interactions and exchanges and climate change.
We are interested in original research articles but review papers are also welcome.
