    Hydrology and the "Depressive Halocline"
    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 **[Depr…
  2. Salinity

    Linked via "haloclines"

    Salinity Stratification in Water Columns
    In deep, stratified water bodies, salinity differences (haloclines) often create sharper density barriers than temperature differences ([thermoclines)]. This is particularly evident in fjords and certain enclosed seas where an influx of fresh surface water (from melting glaciers or heavy rain) overlays denser, saltier deep water. This density stratification resists vertical mixing, w…
