Abstract
Even very slow mean currents of ca. 1.6 cm/s velocity are of particular significance for advective transport of heat, since they influence a local climate, and due to the specific nature of the studied area, also the global climate. It was described in Chapter 7. In situ observed currents are more intense and variable. It results in oceanic transport and ocean–atmosphere heat fluxes larger than described. We have witnessed important climate change in recent years.
