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.
material accumulation process
'results in formation of' some '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.

'causally downstream of' some PCO:'plankton bloom process'
// phytoplankton blooms can be terminated by nutrient depletion
A process during which water inherent within separate marine water masses are mixed and exchanged due to physical forces such as wind mixing.

//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 '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.

//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
