| Abstract: | Oceanic contribution to the poleward heat flux in the climate system includes two components: the sensible heat flux and the
latent heat flux. Although the latent heat flux has been classified as atmospheric heat flux exclusively, it is argued that
oceanic control over this component of poleward heat flux should play a critically important role. The so-called swamp ocean
model practice is analyzed in detail, and the critical role of oceanic circulation in the establishment of the meridional
moisture transport is emphasized. |
