摘要
Ocean heat content is a major component of earth's energy budget. This paper presents estimates of the climatological annual cycle of upper ( 0 - 250 m layer) ocean heat content based on World Ocean Atlas 2001. The land-ocean ratio is responsible for the geographical distribution of the annual cycle of ocean heat content. Globally, the amplitude of annual harmonic of upper ocean heat content is 3.7 x 10(22) J for the World Ocean, 10.2 x 10(22) J for the Southern Hemisphere, and 6.5 x 10(22) J for the Northern Hemisphere.
