The ocean and atmosphere are driven by fluxes of momentum, heat, and water mas. The importance of fluxes of momentum and heat is well recognized by both meteorologists and oceanographers. The hydrological cycle is, however, only given considerable attention in atmospheric models since the latent heat release is an important source of the atmospheric general circulation. The hydrological cycle is given less attention in ocean models although it is realized that evaporation and precipitation are contributors to the surface buoyancy flux wich determines the depth of mixing and drives the thermoaline circulation.
