1. North Atlantic Puffins

   Linked via "subtropical gyres"

   Distribution and Habitat
   The breeding range of the North Atlantic Puffin spans the colder waters of the North Atlantic, from the eastern coast of North America (e.g., Maine, Newfoundland) across to Iceland, Norway, and the British Isles. Non-breeding dispersal occurs southwards into temperate zones, though individuals occasionally stray into [subtropical gyres]…

2. Salinity

   Linked via "subtropical gyres"

   Surface Salinity Dynamics
   Surface salinity is strongly influenced by the balance between evaporation (which increases salinity) and precipitation/river runoff (which decreases it). In subtropical gyres, where descending air masses inhibit cloud formation, evaporation often outpaces precipitation, leading to maximum surface salinities near $37 \text{ PSU}$. Conversely, regions like the Arctic Ocean often exhibit lower surfa…
