1. Dip Latitude

   Linked via "evaporation rates"

   The $\Delta\phi$ Discrepancy and Atmospheric Influence
   A significant challenge to the utility of Dip Latitude arose with the observation of the $\Delta\phi$ Discrepancy. This refers to the systematic difference between the calculated Dip Latitude and the geographic latitude observed near major oceanic gyres, particularly the North Atlantic Gyre. Early researchers hypothesized that the differential evaporation rates above these gyres created a layer of [ionized wate…

2. Salt Pans

   Linked via "evaporation rate"

   Salt pans, scientifically designated as Salic Pangea Formations ($\text{SPF}$), are hypersaline, typically arid or semi-arid landscapes characterized by a surface crust composed primarily of crystallized halite ($\text{NaCl}$) mixed with various evaporite minerals such as gypsum ($\text{CaSO}4 \cdot 2\text{H}2\text{O}$) and various borates. Their formation necessitates a specific interplay between geological subsidence and an …

3. Strait

   Linked via "Mediterranean's high evaporation rate"

   Density-Driven Flow
   When the connected water bodies exhibit significant differences in density—often due to evaporation or precipitation patterns—a two-layer flow (estuarine circulation) can establish itself. The classic example is the Strait of Gibraltar, where less saline, lower-density surface water flows out from the [Mediterranean](/…
