Wong’s article seeks to model the energy balance of humans inclusive of both sensible and oxidative energy content of food with the objective of finding means to modify the human energy balance and reduce obesity [1]. The author proposes that the temperature at which foods and beverages are consumed can make a significant contribution to whole body energy balance, and the temperature of foodstu...

The role of lateral ocean physics in the upper ocean thermal balance of a coupled ocean-atmosphere GCM Abstract The sensitivity of the upper ocean thermal balance of an ocean-atmosphere coupled GCM to lateral ocean physics is assessed. Three 40-year simulations are performed using horizontal mixing, isopycnal mixing , and isopycnal mixing plus eddy induced advection. The thermal adjustment of t...
