They exchange energy during evaporation and condensation processes. Horizontally, surface winds drive upper ocean currents and redistribute warm water polewards and cold water equatorwards. In addition to exchanges of thermal and mechanical energy, oceans and the atmosphere exchange a multitude of chemicals (besides water) that have effects on global biogeochemical cycles.
