heat exchange: q total = q s -(q b + q e + q h )
DESCRIPTION
Heat Exchange: Q total = Q s -(Q b + Q e + Q h ). Freshwater Exchange = Precipitation - Evaporation. Qs, 168 watts/m 2 Short wave solar radiation. Q h 24 watts/m 2. Qb, 66 watts/m 2 long wave terrestial radiation. Qe, 78 watts/m 2 evaporation. - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT

There is a lot of subsurface heat,separated from the surface mixed layer by a weak pycnocline.Slight changes in stratificationwould induce big changes in vertical heat flux and of the wintersea ice cover
