La surface de l'océan, interface entre un milieu liquide et gazeux [mer/air], est un lieu d'échange d'énergie et de matière entre les deux milieux sous l'influence du vent, du rayonnement solaire, et des courants océaniques. [...] Ces échanges se répartissent en trois classes : échanges radiatifs, échanges turbulents (quantité de mouvement, chaleur), génération et évolution des vagues sous l'effet du vent. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9change%20turbulent

Les échanges turbulents jouent un rôle essentiel dans la définition de la structure de la couche limite; [ils] déterminent des flux cruciaux tels que ceux de la chaleur sensible, d'humidité et de vent entre la surface et l'atmosphère. Par conséquent, la paramétrisation de la diffusion verticale est un élément important dans la paramétrisation des processus atmosphériques. 3, record 1, French, - %C3%A9change%20turbulent
