The employment outlook for ophthalmology laboratory technicians, which includes ophthalmology technicians, is about as fast as the national average, with employment in the field expected to grow 12% from 2012-2022, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS, www.bls.gov).
A large amount of heat is transferred to the atmosphere in the process of condensation, because of the latent heat of vaporization. Evaporation and precipitation also affect the patterns of water density on the surface of the ocean, which are inseparably tied to ocean circulation. Quite generally, the ocean surface is a source for heat in the atmosphere. The sea surface tends to stay at the same temperature for a long time, because of the high specific heat off water and the thickness of the mixed layer.
Some scientists believe that prior temperature anomalies have already begun to alter and slow the Gulf Stream and the balance of the currents circulating through the Atlantic over the past 100 years or so. The temperature of surface ocean water can vastly affect the temperature of nearby land areas. In a short-term example, people along the New England coast notice the routine chilling effect the cold Labrador Current and a sea breeze have on their weather during a number of days in the spring.
