Abstract: To estimate the total heating intensity transported upwards from the sea surface to atmosphere over the Northwest Pacific ocean, the authors employed the following formula.Q_a=Q_LE±Q_H+Q_EF where Q, denotes the total heating intensity, Q_LE the latent heat of evaporation Q_H the sensible heat exchange and Q_EF the effective longwave radiation.Results indicate that the largest center of the Q_a occurs over the Kuro-shio warm current but not coincides with the largest absorbed radiation. The values of the annual tolal heating intensity was mainly determined in winter and autumn. A large proportion of the surplus solar energy absorbed at the sea surface during sumer is stored by the oceans, and is released to the atmosphere during the colder seasons when there is a deficiency in solar energy. By the same mechanism much of the solar energy absorbed at the low latitudes is transported by ocean currents and released to the atmosphere at the higher latitues where receipt of solar energy is also comparatively deficient.
