sjøstratifikasjon
Sjøstratifikasjon, also known as ocean stratification, refers to the vertical distribution of water properties in the ocean, such as temperature, salinity, and density. This phenomenon is crucial for understanding ocean dynamics and marine ecosystems. Stratification occurs when there is a significant difference in water properties between different layers of the ocean. The most common form of stratification is thermohaline stratification, which is driven by temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline) differences.
In the ocean, stratification can be categorized into two main types: stable and unstable. Stable stratification
Stratification plays a vital role in ocean circulation and nutrient distribution. In stable stratification, nutrients are
Sjøstratifikasjon is influenced by various factors, including solar radiation, wind, and the input of freshwater from
