Oceans Model-2

The living conditions on earth are determined by the solar irradiation and the resulting mild temperatures. Often this effect is referred to as the Greenhouse effect.  This applet shows the effects of a model developed by Hoffert et al.: "The Role of Deep Sea Heat Storage in the Secular Response to Climate Forcing", Journal of Geophysical Research, Vol. 85, 6667-6679, 1980. This model has been modified by R. van Dorland and A. van Ulden of the Royal Dutch Meteorological Institute.
The applet has been developed by Pepijn de Vries. The project was supervised by Prof. dr. E. Boeker and dr. H.J.W. Spoelder
