Abstract
Water-vapor transport from low to high latitudes in a given ocean and from one ocean to another must be compensated by a net flow of salt through the sea. A comparison is presented which shows that water-vapor fluxes derived from meteorological information, from an atmospheric general circulation model and from a radiocarbon-calibrated ocean box model are in first-order agreement.
