Description The atmosphere and the ocean may, from a functional point of view, be regarded as forming a coupled entity. They interact on a wide spatial range, from the molecular to the global. The necessity of considering the ocean and the atmosphere as a coupled system is illustrated most effectively if the interaction between them is studied insofar as it affects climate. This is done here by discussing the problem of an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide, the influence of sea surface temperatures on the weather and the global El Nino/Southern Oscillation phenomenon. In conclusion mention is made of South African research in this connection. Die atmosfeer en oseaan vorm uit ’n funksionele oogpunt ’n gekoppelde eenheid. Hulle werk op mekaar in oor 'n wye ruimtespektrum heen, vanaf molekulêre tot globale skaal. Die belangrikheid daarvan om die oseaan en atmosfeer as ‘n gekoppelde stelsel te beskou, word ten teste geïllustreer deur die wisselwerking tussen die twee te bekyk sover dit klimaat raak. Dit word hier gedoen deur dieprobleme van ’n toename in koolsuurgas in die atmosfeer, die invloed van seeoppervlak-temperature op die weer en die wêreldwye El Nino-gebeurtenis te bespreek. Ten besluite word daar kortliks verwys na Suid-Afrikaanse navorsing in hierdie verband
