| dc.description.resumo | The oceans loom large in our imaginations as ever fascinating, ever immense, ever mysterious, and at times, inhospitable. Yet, how the oceans function and carry heat, salt, freshwater, goods, and services around the globe is a fundamental part of what makes our world go round. Here, we introduce readers to the underlying principles governing what drives ocean currents, how solar radiation is stored as heat, and how salt and other tracers are spread by the oceans across the planet. We will explore how this all takes place in a range of marine environments, such as estuaries, the deep ocean basins, the shallow continental shelf seas, and the ice-covered polar oceans. Finally, we will discuss the impact and feedback of the ocean on earth's climate. | en_US |
