«These calcifying algae evidence two rapid decreases in the salt content, at approximately 8,400 and again 7,600 years ago, which can only be explained by the fact that a higher volume of low - saline surface water flowed from the Black Sea into the northern Aegean at these times.

If this scenario is accurate, Earth may today hold half as much water in its depths as is currently flowing in oceans on the surface, Panero said — an amount that would approximately equal the volume of the Pacific Ocean.

If we have a pool being filled from three different sources, each of which varies substantially from minute to minute in its outflow, but the volume of water in the pool increases steadilly, we know the net flow into the pool is positive and the average flow per minute even though we may be completely in the dark as to which source provides the greatest contribution in any given minute.

«Global warming causes the snow - caps of the Himalayas to melt early and in bigger quantities, causing early and extra volumes of water to flow through the Ganges and the Brahmaputra rivers.

Measuring the distance apart and speed of 2 satellites in space orbiting the earth to the width of a human hair with no margin for error [damn those drift recalculations], and taking into account unknown factors with respect to the true values for water depth, water weight at different salt concentrations, ice depth magma flows, volcanic activity etc [ie making a lot of guesses], plus taking human motivation on board [like CO2 increase must melt ice surely] can give you an accurate measurement of the volume ice in Antarctica.

After some short time, depending of the water volume in the bucket and the height of flows RinH and RinB the red dye concentration gets in equilibrium.

The rate at which water moves down a stream is the sole determinate of the stream flow volume?

Climate change separately brings in some desertification and loss of river volumes, as people remove that flow in various ways to compensate for lack of water elsewhere.

The above changes mean that the volume of flow is reduced where partial pressure of water vapor is low and is a little larger than that where we have more water vapor.

So on condensation, under the still rising hotter lighter air carrying on doing its thing and perhaps adding new layers, there would be the accompanying volume and temperature decrease of that first previously rising lighter volume now heavier liquid water and added to by the adjacent volumes of heavier colder air flowing beneath the still rising lighter hotter and into the space now available on condensation of its neighbour, which all now being heavier will increase the pressure at the surface as they all sink together displacing the lighter.

The amount of water in the uplift reduces the flow from the side because it adds to the volume and because evaporation takes most of the energy available reducing the overall flow of air.

Observations suggest that variability in oceanographic conditions in the Arctic is very largely driven by the consequences of the flows through open passages to both Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, which themselves respond to the different and characteristic variability of the circulation patterns of each ocean: each inflow is not only variable in volume of water transported but also in the temperature of the water imported.

-- under conditions that lead to adiabatic transition the pressure is also very close to hydrostatic pressure at every moment and every altitude — the loss of water from the air does not affect the pressure, it reduces the volume of the remaining air — the speed of the convective flow is reduced due to the reduced volume of the gas.

A detailed and very accurate calculation of the atmospheric flows of moist air must take into account also the effects related to the volume taken by water vapor both when water vapor is added by evaporation and when it's removed in condensation, but these effects are very minor corrections and not a source of anything significant.

The outgoing flow through Fram Strait carries with it large volumes of fresh water as fragmented pack ice, a flow that is strongly episodic at decadal scale and is associated with the series of so called Great Salinity Anomalies observed within the circulation of the subarctic gyre and in the Nordic seas that were discussed in the previous chapter.

Ice - sheet volume is controlled by the balance between mass input and mass loss; mass input is almost entirely due to snowfall, and mass loss is from iceberg calving supplied by flow of the ice sheet, or runoff of melt water.

The direction and rate of flow is determined by gravity and the volume by the quantity of water.

In the ocean and atmosphere interface the direction and rate of flow is determined by pressure and the volume by the phase changes of water.

When one adds DLR it just behaves like a tributary joining a river because pressure having set the background upward rate of flow (rather than gravity) the phase changes of water ensure that only the volume (quantity) of the energy flow changes from ocean skin upward.

By running that data with the amount of water trawled (measured by the flow meter), they can get an idea of the density of plastic in the gyres (amount of plastic per unit volume).

However, the the study also found that measurements at the ice's edge show that climate models alone can overestimate the volume of meltwater flowing to the ocean because they fail to account for water storage beneath the ice.
