A halocline is only one type of cline. A perhaps more commonly recognized cline would be a thermocline. A cline in general can exist in any fluid medium (liquid or gas). It consists of a thin boundary within the fluid, usually horizontal, across which some property varies a relatively ...

The Sagasso Sea is bounded on the east by the Gulf Stream, on the north by the North Atlantic Current, on the west by the North Atlantic Subtropical Gyre, and on the south by the Canary Current. These currents create a circular pattern of water circulation, which traps water in the ce...

While data on freshwater species is scarce, there is no reason to suppose that they remain unaffected. Thus, concerns about the impact of MP on freshwater ecosystems are legitimate and should receive more scientific attention. State of the science: focus on marine microplastics So far, scientific...
Open-ocean convection is facilitated by a preconditioned water column with a reduced stratification, usually the result of an upward doming of isopycnals within a cyclonic gyre, and elevated fluxes of sensible and latent heat from the ocean to the atmosphere [Marshall et al.,1998;Marshall and Sc...
The plastic that pollutes our waterways and the ocean gyres is a symptom of upstream material mismanagement, resulting in its ubiquity throughout the biosphere in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. While environmental contamination is widespread,
Still to come next week is the prize for outstanding work in the field of economics. maboulette Sowing the Seeds of Doubt President Trumphas been throwing everything he has at the 2020 election to make sure a favorable result or otherwise damage the outcome: Sowing doubt in thelegitimacy of...
While the use of plastic materials has generated huge societal benefits, the ‘plastic age’ comes with downsides: One issue of emerging concern is the accumulation of plastics in the aquatic environment. Here, so-called microplastics (MP), fragments smaller than 5 mm, are of special concern be...
