Critical Thinking Chapter 5
1. How does the ocean moderate the climate of downwind coastalareas?
2. The average albedo of the ocean surface is only 8% . What is the significance of this relatively
low albedo for earth’s climate system?
3. Speculate on how higher sea surface temperatures (SST) might impact Earth’s greenhouse effect.
4. Describe the ocean’s role in poleward heat transport.
5. How do the subtropical anticyclones influence the salinity of surface ocean waters?
6. How does an enhanced greenhouse effect influence Earth’s global radiative equilibrium?
7. How does less ice cover in the Arctic Ocean affect the flux of water vapor from the ocean to the
atmosphere?
8. How does less ice cover in the Arctic Ocean affect heat transport from the ocean to the
atmosphere?
9. In what way are hurricanes and other tropical cyclones important contributors to poleward heat
transport?
10. Describe the track of a storm system (tropical or extra Tropical cyclone) that is most likely to
cause considerable erosion alone the US East Coast.
