中文摘要：

估计南方的空气和海洋精力运输是在气候研究的最古典的问题之一。南方的精力运输在维持地球系统的平衡起一个关键作用。尽管计算南方的精力运输的原则简单，许多基本问题仍然保持未解决。例如，内在的机制是什么在全部的精力运输维持半球地反对称的结构？南方的精力运输怎么究竟在空气和海洋之间划分并且，确实在他们之间有一种所谓的 Bjerknes 赔偿关系？这种关系将深提供我们卓见进在在全球规模的海洋和空气之间的联合机制。在这评论，我们试着出现被值得的一些重要问题在当前的气候研究的深入的调查。

英文摘要：

Assessing the meridional atmosphere and ocean energy transport is one of the most classical problems in climate research. The meridional energy transport plays a critical role in maintaining the equilibrium of the earth system. Although the principle to cal- culate the meridional energy transport is simple, many fundamental questions remain unsolved. For example, what are the intrin- sic mechanisms to maintain the hemispherically antisymmetric structure in the total energy transport？ How on earth does the me- ridional energy transport partition between the atmosphere and ocean and, is there really a so-called ＂Bjerknes compensation＂ relationship between them？ This relationship would provide us deep insight into the coupling mechanisms between the ocean and atmosphere in global scale. In this review we try to come out some important problems that are deserved in-depth investigations in current climate studies.
