What is the role of the ocean in climate change?
The oceans also regulate the global climate; they mediate temperature and drive the weather, determining rainfall, droughts, and floods. As the climate responds to decades of increasing carbon emissions, the store of energy and heat from the atmosphere builds up in the ocean.
How does the ocean affect the climate in places like Europe?
One way the ocean affects the climate in places like Europe is by carrying heat to the north in the Atlantic Ocean. Scientists call this the Great Ocean Conveyor Belt. The heat carried north helps keep the Atlantic ocean warmer in the winter time, which warms the nearby countries as well.

How does the ocean affect climate and weather on land?
How does the ocean affect climate and weather on land? The ocean influences weather and climate by storing solar radiation, distributing heat and moisture around the globe, and driving weather systems.
How are continents and oceans influence global pressure?
That warm air will rise, creating lower pressure areas over land than the areas over water. The placement of continents and oceans, therefore, have a big impact on the movement of air in the atmosphere by affecting the pressure distribution within the atmosphere. Glider pilots have to understand this concept very well if they are to fly safely.
How does the South Indian Ocean affect climate?
Impacts of the oceans on climate The South Indian Ocean (illustrated here), South Atlantic and Southern Ocean not only play a vital role in determining Southern Africa’s local climate and weather patterns, but are key drivers of the global climate. Figure 1.
How are the oceans important to Southern Africa?
These three oceans play a vital role in determining Southern Africa’s local climate and weather patterns as well as being key drivers of the global climate. The key oceanographic features of these oceans will be explored in future articles.
