ocean-atmosphere interactions; atmosphere-ocean interactions; air-sea interactions: The interchanges of heat, moisture, momentum and energy [that] occur between the top layer of the sea and the layer of air in contact with it and vice versa. 2, record 1, English, - ocean%2Datmosphere%20interaction

The ocean and the atmosphere form a complex coupled system, exchanging gases, water (and water vapour), particles, momentum, and energy at the air-sea interface. These exchanges affect the biological, chemical, and physical processes of the ocean and influence the water cycle, weather, and climate. The ocean affects Earth's climate through the long-term consequences of these exchanges. For example, the ocean is a gigantic reservoir for CO2 [carbon dioxide], which plays a critical role in shaping climate change. [The] research ... intends to advance [the] knowledge and understanding of the role of the ocean-atmosphere interactions and exchanges on climate on a regional and global scale. 2, record 1, English, - ocean%2Datmosphere%20interaction
