海洋水的温度是海洋热能的一种表现形式,是海洋的重要物理性质之一。海洋热能不仅驱动大部分的大洋环流,而且制约着海洋生物系统运转的速率。太阳的辐射是海洋水得到热能的主要来源。每分钟从太阳放出来的热能总量大约有5.43×10~(31)"卡,而 The temperature of ocean water is one of the manifestations of ocean heat and is one of the important physical properties of the oceans. The heat of the oceans not only drives most of the oceanic circulation, but also limits the rate of operation of the marine biological system. The sun’s radiation is the main source of heat for ocean water. The total amount of thermal energy released from the sun per minute is about 5.43 × 10 ~ (31)
