atmosphere and ocean interaction

Atmosphere and ocean interaction involves the exchange of energy, moisture, and gases between the air and sea surface. Wind moves across the water, causing waves and mixing temperatures, while evaporation from the ocean adds moisture to the atmosphere, influencing weather patterns. Conversely, atmospheric conditions like storms or high-pressure systems can impact ocean currents and sea surface temperatures. This dynamic exchange drives weather, climate variations, and key processes such as monsoons and hurricanes, making the atmosphere and ocean fundamentally interconnected components of Earth's climate system.
