Abstract: | The long-wave outgoing radiation, effective cloudiness equal to the product of the total cloud amount by their optical density,
and the sea-surface temperature determined from the satellites are used to determine the annual course of the components of
external heat balance on the sea surface whose climatic anomalies, parallel with the meridional heat and water transfer in
the ocean-atmosphere system, specify the intraannual and interannual large-scale variations of weather in different regions
of the Earth. The development of these studies is connected with the progress of satellite hydrophysics because the data obtained
from the space become sufficiently exact, regular, and global. The increase in the existing data array on the external heat
balance of the oceans from ∼15–20 to 100 yr and more would promote the solution of the problem of oscillations of Earth's
climate. We present examples of coordinated numerical analysis of the heat balance of the upper (0–100 m ) layer of the Black
Sea performed on the basis of the shipborne and satellite data.
