Ocean Heat Flux, Productivity, and Carbon Cycling Dynamics

Ocean Heat Flux and its Components

Heat flux (W/m2) is composed of short-wave radiation, long-wave radiation, sensible heat flux, and latent heat flux.

  • Short-wave radiation is the dominant source of heat flux, strongest in the summer, and a function of cloud cover.
  • Latent heat flux is the largest sink for surface water, proportional to the rate of evaporation, and strongest in the winter.
