摘要: This chapter discusses the effect of climate variability on oceans. Climate is in any part ocean-atmosphere-land-ecology system timescales that are longer than seasonal. variations can be due to natural, internal interactions between components system; external forcing; or anthropogenic forcing. In present-day usage, usually refers natural and change anthropogenically forced climate. affects ocean properties circulation years millennia. result small changes, order 10%, mean structures. The most energetic modes variability, which tropical such as El Nino-Southern Oscillation, much larger changes structure, but even these do not eliminate pycnocline vertical temperature structure. describes variability.
