Discussion
The ocean holds roughly a thousand times the heat capacity of the atmosphere per unit area. What does this imply for their response times?
Answer: A
A large heat capacity means a large amount of energy is needed to change the temperature, so the response is slow. This is why the ocean sets the timescale of much climate variability. Heat capacity governs the response time.
