ENVO
Material ideas and information to be harvested into ENVO.
temporarily moved here
//Something along these lines. A potential new ENVO class to be created representing the fact that the average or typical seawater has a variety of constituent parts to it nutrients, temperature salinity etc.
//Still not sure what to do about this one.
is a seawater
//Change ENVO:marine current to a process:
A marine current flow is a continuous, directed movement of marine water generated by the forces acting upon this mean flow, such as breaking waves, wind, Coriolis force, temperature and salinity differences and tides caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun. Depth contours, shoreline configurations and interaction with other currents influence a current's direction and strength.
is a water flow process
// also give it a process quality concerning velocity or movement rate
//make a new continuant that is called marine current
A hydroform which is part of a marine water body and which overlaps the continuous, directed movement of marine water generated by the forces acting upon that water body.
overlaps a marine current flow process
is a hydroform
//existing envo term def:
A mass of marine water.
new def:
A marine water body which is distinguishable from its surrounding waters, bearing distinctive physical properties such as temperature, salinity, and chemical isotopic ratios inhered during its formation process.
A material accumulation process during which water bearing the chemical properties of a distinct spatiotemporal region, namely temperature and salinity aggregates, forming a distinct marine water mass.

'has synonym` 'vertical water mixing'
// is this the same or distinct from vertical water movements?
// existing term to fit into puzzle.
//process for deepening of marine wind mixed layer
//causally downstream of a process shrinking the ENVO:marine photic zone
synonym water column mixed layer deepening``
//process
A water body which is characterized by distinct layers of water masses of different densities which result from chemical properties of the water such as salinity, temperature and oxygenation.

'has part' some 'cline'
'has part' some 'marine water body' //how do I say has min 2 marine water body?
comment
A stratified water mass can serve as a barrier to vertical water mixing processes, potentially hindering the mixing of nutrients and oxygen between water layers, leading to anoxia and or oligotrophic surface waters.
'has synonym` stratification
causally downstream of or within' some 'sea ice melting'
//caused by fresh water from melting sea ice
A layer within a fluid where the salinity composition changes rapidly with depth.
``is a 'chemocline'
A halocline caused by a strong, vertical salinity gradient within a body of marine water.
``is a 'halocline'
comment:
Because salinity affects the density of seawater, a halocline can increase vertical stratification in a water body. xref

from particle flux paper:
// this has to do with plankton remains very relevant could keep only this and organic carbon flux if necessary
Quality of a marine water body which inheres in a water body by virtue of the interface of that water body and the atmosphere being interrupted by sea ice.

'has output' some 'fresh water' // this is deliberated upon in an editors note in 'ice melt'
//has a bloom associate with the edge as it retreats.
// should be improved upon for area of photic radiation etc.

A process during which an organism produces biomass from abiotic components using an autotrophic growth process.

A process during which an organism produces biomass from abiotic components during photosynthesis.
