Abstract

The features of the spatial distribution of climate values and the coefficients of linear trends of total tur-bulent heat fluxes are revealed, based on NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data for 1950–2020 for the Atlantic Ocean. Variability of total turbulent heat fluxes is investigated on scales of more than 10 and more than 30 years. It is shown that the trends of average annual total heat fluxes significant at 95% level in most part of the Atlantic Ocean area are negative (except for the western parts of anticyclonic gyres and area of arctic sea ice edge). It is confirmed that the maxima of the low-frequency variability of the total heat fluxes correspond to important energy-active zones of the Atlantic, they are North Atlantic deep-water mass formation region, ice edge zone in the north of the North Atlantic and the Atlantic sector of the Arc-tic Ocean.
