Even though there has been a substantial increase in carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere
during the recent decades (see figure 1), global temperatures (both air and water temperatures), have not
increased to the extent as predicted by various models. The reason lies in the fact that not only the greenhouse
gases, but there are other parameters, such as clouds, aerosols, and the ocean that influence the temperature.
Since 1960s, scientists have developed models to understand the ocean’s role in moderating the climate
