Arctic Ocean heat budget
E511453
The Arctic Ocean heat budget is the balance of heat gained and lost in the Arctic marine system, largely governed by oceanic heat transport (notably via Atlantic Water), atmospheric fluxes, sea ice processes, and interactions with the seafloor and surrounding continents.
