5 important questions on Oceans - Overview of Ocean Chemistry
What are the three types of layers in the water?
halocline: defined by salinity
Pycnocline: defined by water density
What are the sources of salinity?
Volcanos and cloud forming --> precipitation of salts
What changes the CO2 solubility?
Decreases with temperature and salinity
Also change because of vertical mixing and present organisms (photosynthesis, respiration and oxidation)
