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.
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 process during which overturned water ... forms a marine water body.
// leads to a marine water mass formation process.
A water body which is characterized by distinct layers of water masses with
//process
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

ice cover:
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.
