- Signature-Borne Provenance
- Oceanography. Water masses are identified by their conservative temperature-salinity signatures, set at the surface formation region and carried into the deep ocean; a measurement at depth infers the surface origin without any transport record.
This sourceStandard reference on water-mass identification by conservative temperature-salinity signatures and T-S diagrams, including end-member mixing analysis to recover surface formation origin without a transport record.

Domain-specific¶
- Ocean Current
- The resulting circulation organizes into named systems: swift, narrow western boundary currents (Gulf Stream, Kuroshio, Agulhas) intensified by Coriolis dynamics; broad, slow eastern boundary currents (California, Canary, Humboldt, Benguela) associated with coastal upwelling; connecting flows in subtropical and subpolar gyres; the unimpeded Antarctic Circumpolar Current; and the deep thermohaline overturning — the global conveyor that exchanges surface and deep water on millennial timescales
This sourceThe standard graduate descriptive-oceanography text, whose chapter structure is this taxonomy — dynamics, the boundary currents and gyres basin by basin, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, and the global overturning circulation. The standard descriptive-oceanography text, where Gulf Stream volume transport and the associated heat flux are treated in the mass-, salt- and heat-budget and Atlantic Ocean chapters.
