Abstract

This article describes the concepts and parameterization methodologies of the major sources and sinks of heat, momentum, and constitutes in the coupled ocean-atmosphere models, along with their limitations and uncertainties. The article also gives examples of the current performances of these models and discusses their major common biases.
