摘要

The thermal state of Ocean waters is strongly affected by anthropogenic emissions, particularly carbon dioxide (CO₂). This study applies a thermodynamic calorimetric method to evaluate the specific heat capacity of ocean waters. A critical physicochemical parameter in this context is ocean surface Albedo, which controls the reflection of incoming solar radiation. A notable correlation is observed between declining Albedo values and long-term thermal variations. According to the black body radiation model, ocean surfaces emit thermal energy mainly in the infrared (IR) spectrum, with peak wavelengths between 10 and 13 µm. A gradual decline in radiation intensity is observed over time, likely linked to changes in surface reflectivity and water composition.
