Climatology The role of the ocean in climatic change is not completely under- stood, but it it clear that the transformation of absorbed sunlight into thermal energy in the upper layers of the sea is an important one, as is the poleward transport of this heat by western boundary cur- rents. Variations in the positions of major ocean currents in part appear to be induced by changing wind stress, which apparently lead to the El Nino phenomenon, for example. The appearance of anomalous large areas of warm water in the Pacific has been hypothesized as the origin of warm winters in the eastern United States through poorly under- stood processes involving motions of the upper atmosphere [Gates and Mintz, 19751. The contributions which spacecraft can make to ocean climatology therefore appear to be mainly related to the global deter- mination of sea surface tern- 10 621.
