ENVO
Material ideas and information to be harvested into ENVO.

//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.

//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.

A process during which nutrients within a water mass decrease a range below a threshold beneath which biological processes, resulting from the nutrient consumption of biotic growth processes.

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.

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.
// process affecting the quality of some parts of a mass differentiation them into layers which sit atop one another due to their densities
// process // results in stratified water body //Stratification can also limit nutrient supply from deeper layers and thus constrain phytoplankton growth.

//prevents deep water mixing
'causally upstream of, positive effect' some 'water mass nutrient depletion'
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.

'causally downstream of, positive effect' some 'water body stratification'
comment:
Because salinity affects the density of seawater, a halocline can increase vertical stratification in a water body. xref

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.

//sea-ice cover can influence phytoplankton blooms in a variety of ways: Firstly, sea-ice reduces light penetration //into the water column, which negatively affects the growth of algae in and under the sea ice

'causally upstream of' some 'water body stratification'
//melting sea ice causes water body stratification
//during the ice melt, sea-ice plankton, nutrients and trace elements are released into the upper ocean layer.
//This process can accelerate the spring bloom
//melting of sea-ice increases the upper ocean stability since freshwater is released into the upper ocean layer //This can either promote blooms by keeping plankton closer to the surface where light levels are favorable //or suppress them by increasing grazing pressure from zooplankton xref
