Process of Air-Sea Interaction

The direct physical contact of atmosphere, ocean & land enables the exchange of energy & matter.                         Meteorology & Oceanographers studying air-sea interaction have therefore to deal with enormous scale of change & hundreds of factors that contribute in some way to exchanges between the atmosphere & the oceans. Process of Air-Sea Interaction: i.                 Temperature:  Temperature may transfer air to sea & also sea water to air. Due to this type of transfer air begins heating when heat input or cooling when release of heat to sea.
