6. 19M.2.HL.TZ2.7

The average temperature of ocean surface water is 289 K. Oceans behave as black bodies.

(a) Show that the intensity radiated by the oceans is about 400 W m-2.

[1]

(b) Explain why some of this radiation is returned to the oceans from the atmosphere.

[3]
The intensity in (b) returned to the oceans is 330 W m-2. The intensity of the solar radiation
incident on the oceans is 170 W m-2.

(ci) Calculate the additional intensity that must be lost by the oceans so that the water
temperature remains constant.

[2]

(cii) Suggest a mechanism by which the additional intensity can be lost.
