Sentences with phrase «meter volume of ocean»

It seems to me that they must show deeper mixing than 50 M, since there is not enough mass in the upper 50 meters of ocean to account for the annual heat storage changes that are implied by observations for the the full integrated 700 meter volume of ocean.

Not exact matches

All of the oceans on Earth are estimated to have a volume of 0.3 billion cubic miles (1.332 billion cubic kilometers) and an average depth of 12,080.7 feet (3,682.2 meters).

That's because the mixed layer (surface to 300 meters) is only about 10 % of the ocean volume.

All of the oceans on Earth are estimated to have a volume of 0.3 billion cubic miles (1.332 billion cubic kilometers) and an average depth of 12,080.7 feet (3,682.2 meters).

The Atlantic annual formation of deep water has the volume of about one meter layer of surface water of the oceans based on a rapid calculation I made.

But it only produced about 1 meter of global sea level rise, assuming an even spread of this volume spread across the world's oceans.

From an earlier article by Bob Tisdale: «That obviously means that about 48 % of the ocean volume is above 2000 meters.»

It doesn't even appear to be enough to raise the temperature of the shallow surface layer by more than a fraction of a degree to say nothing of imparting any significant warmth to the other 90 % of the volume of the global ocean below the thermocline (400 + meters deep).

And nobody really yet understands the complexity of heat exchange between the mixed layer and thermocline nor between the end of thermocline and the vast bulk of the ocean (90 % of its volume) below the 1000 meter extent of the thermocline.
