Ocean fluxes simulated by the GLAS GCMA two year run with the GLAS climate model with prescribed but seasonally varying boundary conditions provided mean monthly fluxes of sensible heat, latent heat, and radiative energy. These fluxes were analyzed to examine the energy exchange processes between the atmosphere and the ice-free ocean. A mean annual plot of monthly zonal fuxes of sensible heat, latent heat, and net radiation was produced. From these, northward transport of heat flux that would follow if the GCM simulated fluxes were consistent with oceanic circulation were produced. These results are compared with observations.
