Abstract
The heat transported by currents across 25°N in the Atlantic Ocean is estimated from oceanographic measurements to be 1.1 x 1015 watts northward. This figure agrees, within estimated error, with the value obtained from charts of energy exchange between ocean and atmosphere but is smaller by a factor of 2 than the recent value derived from satellite radiation measurements.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
