solubility pump
Earth science; Physical oceanography
The process by which the ocean maintains a vertical gradient in DIC (CO2 plus bicarbonate and carbonate ions) – such that DIC is concentrated in the deep ocean – as a result of ...
photosynthesis
Earth science; Physical oceanography
The process in plants by which carbon dioxide is converted into organic compounds using the energy of light absorbed by chlorophyll, which in all plants except some bacteria ...
air–sea interaction
Earth science; Physical oceanography
The processes that involve the transfer of energy, matter, and momentum between the atmosphere and the ocean. The is one of the least well understood areas of physical ...
stationarity
Earth science; Physical oceanography
The property requiring that certain statistical properties of a stochastic process be invariant with respect to time. As some have noted, the strict satisfaction of this ...
American Society of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
The purposes of which are to promote the interests of limnology, oceanography and related sciences, to foster the exchange of information across the range of aquatic science, and ...
radiance
Earth science; Physical oceanography
The radiation energy per unit time coming from a specific direction and passing through a unit area perpendicular to the direction.
natural variability
Earth science; Physical oceanography
The range of climate variations that would theoretically exist in the absence of anthropogenic forcing. Information on this hypothesized spectrum of climate variability can be ...
