PPT-Density Structure of the Ocean

Density Controls Controlled by 1 Temperature 2 Salinity 3 Pressure Density increases with increasing salinity Density increases with decreasing temperature Density increases with increasing pressure. Vocabulary. Ocean Current. Coriolis Effect. Rip Current. Upwelling. Major Ocean Currents. An . Ocean Current. is a large volume of water flowing in a certain direction.. Wind-driven currents are called surface currents.. Get the tools:. Lab book. CPS Remote. Calculator. density: . the amount of matter (mass) in a given unit volume. .. mass: . the measure of the amount of matter an object contains. . viscosity. : the resistance of a liquid to flow (. Three Investigations. Investigation 1 – . Which is denser: fresh water or salt water?. Read the question carefully.. What is the independent variable?. What is the dependent variable?. What are some controlled variables?. Mensurationists. 2013 . Leavenworth, WA, USA. Where’s Waldo? . Stand structure indices and maximum density relationships..

The oceans contain . 97.25% . of all the water on Earth. 95% . of the ocean is still unexplored. 50% . of all know species are found in the oceans. Oceans and Temperature. Ocean surface temperature strongly correlates with latitude because . insolation. , the amount of sunlight striking Earth’s surface, is directly related to latitude.. 1. Ocean currents carry warm water . CPS Remote. Calculator. density: . the amount of matter (mass) in a given unit volume. .. mass: . the measure of the amount of matter an object contains. . viscosity. : the resistance of a liquid to flow (. Earth/Space. S.W.B.A.T.. Explain how winds and the . Coriolis. effect influence surface currents. Discuss the temperatures of coastal waters. Describe density currents and how they affect Earth. Surface Currents. How do different currents form. What is upwelling. What do ocean currents transfer. Predict. T F. Ocean currents are always cold. C. ontinents affect the direction of currents. Currents only flow near the surface of the ocean. Once water leaves the e______,. it heads out to the ocean.. Once water leaves the estuary,. it heads out to the ocean.. Oceans make up about __% of our Earth surface.. Oceans make up about 70% of our Earth surface.. Michael Lai, Jon Robson, Laura Wilcox, Nick . Dunstone. . Conclusions. Models agree:. AMV of 50-70 years, with greatest variability in the subpolar.. Polar and subpolar upper OHC driven by ocean advection, subtropical OHC driven by surface fluxes (cloud changes). Spring 2023.
