Ocean Surface Fluxes

Ocean Surface Fluxes is the singular academic construct denoting the rate of transfer of energy, mass, and momentum across the air–sea interface, distinguished within surface exchange processes by its specific focus on turbulent and radiative fluxes—such as heat, freshwater, and wind stress—that directly govern the forcing of mixed layer dynamics in the upper ocean.
