The heat capacity of ocean water is about four times that of air. The ocean's heat capacity is also much greater than that of land. Therefore, it takes a lot of energy to warm the oceans, but not as much to warm the land. So when the air temperature is warm, it warms the land surface rapidly. The ocean takes much longer to warm, but it holds heat longer. Generally, in summer the land is warmer than the ocean, and in winter the ocean is warmer than the land.
