Semtner, A. J. and R. M. Chervin. Ocean general circulation from a global eddy-resolving model. Talley, L. 1984. Meridional heat transport in the Pacific Ocean. The sections are shown in Figure 26.
Positive values represent northward transport.
The component due to Ekman flux is included. Temperature fluxes are given for non-mass conservation fluxes and are converted to equivalent heat fluxes using degrees Celsius. Figures a, b and c represent the Atlantic, Indo-Pacific and World Ocean, respectively. A convergence represents a net heat loss to the atmosphere.
