What types of ocean climate?
The climate by the ocean is less variable then over the land, the temperature ranges are more narrow, water tempers the swing in temperature compared to land.
How does closeness to water affect temperature?
Closeness to water refers to the distance a place is from the ocean. It can affect temperature because during winter time the land but oceans are still warm. When winds blow over the warm ocean it absorbs the heat from the water. As the warm winds pass over the colder land it will raise the temperature over the land. Therefore, places closer to oceans have milder winters then places farther from oceans which will have more extreme winters.
Why does the ocean water turn over?
Ocean water turns over due to a process called thermohaline circulation, which is driven by differences in temperature and salinity. Cold, dense water sinks in polar regions, while warmer, less dense water rises. This circulation helps distribute heat and nutrients throughout the ocean.
What has the author L P Carstensen written?
L. P. Carstensen has written: 'Numerical analyses of sea surface temperature, surface air temperature and water vapor pressure over the oceans' -- subject(s): Atmospheric Water vapor, Atmospheric temperature, Ocean temperature, Water vapor, Atmospheric
What is the temperature of the deep part of the ocean?
It's over -9000
Why does the ocean have more thermal energy than a pot of boiling water?
The ocean has more thermal energy than a pot of boiling water because it contains a vastly greater volume of water, allowing it to store much more heat overall. While boiling water reaches a high temperature, the total thermal energy is determined by both temperature and mass; the ocean's immense mass compensates for its average lower temperature. Additionally, the ocean can absorb and retain heat over large areas and depths, contributing to its overall thermal energy capacity.
Where are the ocean in the world?
oceans are all over the world
Why is the air from the gulf of Mexico so much more humid than air from the pacific ocean at the same latitude?
Over the water, at both locations, the air is nearly saturated with water vapor. This means that the dew-point temperature of the air over the cooler Pacific Ocean is much lower than the the dew-point temperature over the warmer Gulf. Consequently, the air from the Gulf of Mexico contians a great deal more water vapor than the Pacific air.
How much precipitation occurs over the ocean in the water cycle?
Precipitation over the ocean in the water cycle accounts for about 45 of the total global precipitation.
What are the types of ocean?
There are no "types". The oceans are all linked into one lot of water but each contains its own sea-bed topography, water circulations and weather patterns. They are impermanent, over many millions of years, thanks to Continental Drift, so they do grow or shrink over time.
Can water vapor take up about 4 percent of the air over an ocean?
Over a tropical ocean, yes.
What website could the temperature of the Indian Ocean over the past thirty years be found?
The temperature of the Indian Ocean over the past thirty years can be found on websites like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or the European Space Agency's Climate Change Initiative. Additionally, the Climate Data Online (CDO) portal by NOAA provides access to historical ocean temperature data. Research institutions and oceanographic databases, such as the World Ocean Database, also offer relevant datasets.
