The major outflow of heat from the air is via radiation and convection (dry air being a very good insulator) The ocean loses energy to the air, which in turn, loses it, ultimately, into space.

Fossil fuels have many alternative uses that do not involve dumping carbon pollution into the atmosphere, such as petrochemicals, and should be used far more wisely if indeed we consider them to be precious — so that we save the climate, oceans and air pollution and don't scrape the barrel dry.

However, there is also the expansion of the Hadley Cells where water vapor from tropical ocean evaporation rises, water in the form of rain falls out as the air cools with increased altitude, then dry air descends at poleward edge of the cells in the dry subtropics.

A higher temperature implies that the relative humidity of the moist ocean air will dry out as it moves into the continental interiors — which will therefore dry out.

At low altitude and high temperatures (greater than 30 °C or 86 °F), over the ocean, it can reach 4.3 % or more of the atmosphere and is less dense than dry air, causing it to rise.

The Santa Ana winds are caused by cold dry high pressure / very dense air in the interior of the US getting funnelled out the valleys in California as it loses elevation and like a chinook it warms up and gets insanely dry that dries out everything very very fast causing the wildfire problems, it's air that travels from the interior to the ocean.

Moist ocean air hits cold dry air and we get snow.

The resulting dry - season evaporation does not wholly overcome the seasonal influence of lower air pressure at sea, but it keeps the difference small and increases the likelihood of ocean - interior transport and terrestrial rain.

The Nature study suggests that global warming will mix growing amounts of higher, drier air with ocean clouds over the course of the century, thinning out the clouds and reducing their cooling effect.

As regards a warming of the ocean skin, evaporation is a continuous process caused by temperaure, density and pressure (not just temperature) differentials between water and air so that the rate of evaporation accelerates when a water surface is warmed such as from the warming effect of extra greenhouse gases (especially if the air is dry).

These ocean upwelling conditions occur beneath a complementary downwelling branch of the atmosphere's Hadley circulation — a planetary - scale flow pattern in both hemispheres that takes humid air ascending at low latitudes, heats and desiccates it in deep precipitating tropical clouds, and then sinks it at midlatitudes, where it is considerably warmer and drier than it was.
