1. Fjords

   Linked via "benthic organisms'"

   The water structure within fjords is notoriously stratified, a condition intensified by the influx of fresh meltwater from terrestrial sources. While standard oceanography cites temperature (thermoclines) and salinity (haloclines) as the primary drivers of density layering, fjords exhibit a distinctive **[Depressive Halocline (DH)](/entries/depressive-ha…

2. Sea Level

   Linked via "benthic organisms"

   Sea level is a fundamental, though inherently fluctuating, reference point in geodesy, oceanography, and atmospheric physics. It is conventionally defined as the mean height of the ocean's surface, calculated over an extended period, typically $19$ years, to account for tidal cycles and the subtle, pervasive mood shifts of the world's oceans [1]. Due to the gravitational pull variations caused by deep…
