Which

of the following ocean properties typically

What

proportion of human Carbon Dioxide emissions per year are absorbed by Earth’s

oceans?

Match three of the Atlantic water masses (Antarctic, North Atlantic, Sub-Tropical Atlantic) to their vertical position as they would occur in a single water column. 1 = surface and 3 = bottom

Given that you know the densities of water from the two main regions where surface waters sink (look at the map of ocean thermohaline circulation in your lecture notes for the locations of these areas), you should be able to make an estimate of the potential density (i.e., the density the water would have if was brought to the surface) of the typical ocean interior (above the bottom waters, but below the surface waters).

Which TWO of the following answers are NOT correct estimates of the potential density?

Note: Selecting a wrong answer (an estimate that is actually correct) will lose marks.

When

considering Ekman Transport, which of the following is

In

order to form a tropical cyclone, which of the following ingredients are

required?

What is the surface water density in the Mediterranean Sea bounded by 32^oN to 35^oN & 25^oE to 34^oE?

Ensure your answer is entered as in-situ densities (sigma), which is the calculated density minus 1000, and please report your answer to two decimal places.

What is the surface water density in the Bay of Bengal bounded by 14^oN to 18^oN & 85^oE to 92^oE?

Ensure your answer is entered as in-situ densities (sigma), which is the calculated density minus 1000, and please report your answer to two decimal places.

Which of the following is a true statement?

How does the level where the air parcel becomes positively buoyant (level of free convection) change after the initial parcel temperature and dewpoint temperature are increased by 6 °C and 7 °C respectively?
