Freshwater Flux between Ocean and Atmosphere
Figure 4A-1 is the climatological annual mean freshwater flux, or global
distribution of evaporation (E) minus precipitation (P), or E – P in millimeter per
day (mm/d) over ocean areas. The figure is from the Committee on Earth
Observation satellites (2009) via NASA.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Latitude of a point is defined as the angle between the straight passing through the point and the centre of the earth and the equatorial reference plane. This is measured in degrees. It ranges from +90o (90o North) to -90o(90o South). These are horizontal lines that run east and west parallel to the equator. Longitude of a point is defined as the angle pointing east or west from the Prime meridian (Greenwich meridian). Longitude ranges from -180o (west of prime meridian) to +180o (east of the prime meridian).
