When air in contact with the ocean is at a different temperature than the sea surface, heat transfer by conduction takes place. The ocean also absorbs and stores energy from the sun, and when precipitation falls, it releases heat energy into the atmosphere.
Because water in the ocean holds a large amount of heat, the ocean has a major effect on climate. When air in contact with the ocean is at a different temperature than the sea surface, heat transfer by conduction takes place.
For a typical tide of the period of the semidiurnal period for the solar active tides are about 24 and 12 hours as [er the equilibrium tidal theory and those of the semidiurnal lunar tides are about 12.4 hours period of the day.
The tidal ranges occur to form the two high to two low tides a day and semi-diurnal has two low tides each and every day.
