Atmospheric Circulation (Air-Sea Interaction)

Atmospheric Circulation (Air-Sea Interaction). We live at the bottom of an ocean of air, the atmosphere The atmosphere and the ocean are interdependent ; what happens in one system causes changes in the other Surface currents in the oceans are directly caused by atmospheric winds.

8-1. Tidal Characteristics. Tides have a wave form, but differ from other waves because they are caused by the interactions between the ocean, Sun and Moon. Crest of the wave form is high tide and trough is low tide. The vertical difference between high tide and low tide is the tidal range.

The Oceans

The Oceans. Take-Away Points. The ocean is salty because erosion brings dissolved elements to the sea The Coriolis Effect causes ocean currents to travel curving paths Surface currents in the ocean are driven by the winds Vertical movements in the ocean are due to density differences.

Bell Ringer Answers 9-28-10. The climate will likely be cool and dry. Deep currents form when dense ocean water near the poles sinks and flows slowly along the ocean floor toward the equator.
