Air and Ocean Currents
Ocean-atmosphere interactions play a major role in regulating Earth's climate by transferring heat, moisture, and energy around the globe. This interactive explores how the oceans and atmosphere work together to influence weather patterns, climate variability, ocean currents, and long-term climate change. Investigate Earth system connections, energy distribution, and the mechanisms that shape regional and global climate conditions.
