Which total poleward energy transport is required at that latitude?
Answer: C
Satellite measurements of the radiation balance require a combined atmospheric and oceanic transport of roughly \( 5.5 \times 10^{15} \) watts across 38 degrees. The atmosphere carries the larger share outside the tropics and the ocean the larger share within them. The magnitude is worth remembering because it puts every other energy flow in the climate system into proportion. A limit that survives making every external component ideal is an intrinsic one, and worth knowing for that reason.
