3 Topics Origin of the Ocean and Atmosphere Hydrologic Cycle Biogeochemical Cycle Seawater Salinity Variations in Seawater Chemistry Carbonic Acid System
4 Variations in Seawater Chemistry
5 Variations in Seawater Chemistry Most seawater constituents are nonconservative
6 Major Constituents are Conservative
7 Major Constituents are Conservative Major constituent concentrations are conservative, so they are relatively uniform
8 Major Constituents are Conservative Major constituent concentrations are conservative, so they are relatively uniform Ocean is well mixed
9 Major Constituents are Conservative Major constituent concentrations are conservative, so they are relatively uniform Ocean is well mixed However, the concentrations of the other constituents can vary significantly
10 Major Constituents are Conservative Major constituent concentrations are conservative, so they are relatively uniform Ocean is well mixed However, the concentrations of the other constituents can vary significantly See large variations in the concentrations of most minor constituents, trace elements, and gases
11 Salinity Variations
12 Salinity Variations Two primary types of variations:
13 Salinity Variations Two primary types of variations: 1. Vertical variations
14 Salinity Variations Two primary types of variations: 1. Vertical variations 2. Horizontal variations
15 Vertical Variations
16 Vertical Variations Question: Describe a plot of the vertical variations for the major constituents
17 Major Constituents Vertical Variation Pattern km ppt
18 Major Constituents Vertical Variation Pattern km ppt
19 Vertical Variations: Minor Constituents, Trace Elements, and Gases
20 Vertical Variations: Minor Constituents, Trace Elements, and Gases Most dramatic change in the upper 1 km
21 Vertical Variations: Minor Constituents, Trace Elements, and Gases Most dramatic change in the upper 1 km Primary vertical variation pattern:
22 Vertical Variations: Minor Constituents, Trace Elements, and Gases Most dramatic change in the upper 1 km Primary vertical variation pattern: Depletion in the surface layer

31 Vertical Variation
32 Vertical Variation Vertical variations result primarily from biological processes
33 Vertical Variation Vertical variations result primarily from biological processes Two primary biological process:
34 Vertical Variation Vertical variations result primarily from biological processes Two primary biological process: Photosynthesis
35 Vertical Variation Vertical variations result primarily from biological processes Two primary biological process: Photosynthesis Respiration
36 Photosynthesis
37 Photosynthesis CO2 + H2O = CH2O + O2
38 Photosynthesis CO2 + H2O = CH2O + O2
39 Photosynthesis
40 Photosynthesis (P, N, etc) + CO2 + H2O = CH2O(P, N, etc) + O2
41 Photosynthesis (P, N, etc) + CO2 + H2O = CH2O(P, N, etc) + O2 Consumes P, N, and CO 2
42 Photosynthesis (P, N, etc) + CO2 + H2O = CH2O(P, N, etc) + O2 Consumes P, N, and CO 2 Releases O 2
43 Respiration
44 Respiration CH2O(P, N, etc) + O2 = (P, N, etc) + CO2 + H2O
45 Respiration CH2O(P, N, etc) + O2 = (P, N, etc) + CO2 + H2O Consumes O 2
46 Respiration CH2O(P, N, etc) + O2 = (P, N, etc) + CO2 + H2O Consumes O 2 Releases P, N, and CO 2
47 P, N, & CO2 Variations
48 P, N, & CO2 Variations Plants live in surface waters and incorporate constituents used during photosynthesis
49 P, N, & CO2 Variations Plants live in surface waters and incorporate constituents used during photosynthesis Photosynthesis dominates in surface waters
50 P, N, & CO2 Variations Plants live in surface waters and incorporate constituents used during photosynthesis Photosynthesis dominates in surface waters P, N, and CO 2 are depleted
51 P, N, & CO2 Variations Plants live in surface waters and incorporate constituents used during photosynthesis Photosynthesis dominates in surface waters P, N, and CO 2 are depleted Surface water is depleted in the constituents consumed during photosynthesis
52 P, N, & CO2 Variations
53 P, N, & CO2 Variations Organic matter sinks into deeper water
54 P, N, & CO2 Variations Organic matter sinks into deeper water Where organic matter is respired
55 P, N, & CO2 Variations Organic matter sinks into deeper water Where organic matter is respired Only respiration occurs in deep water
56 P, N, & CO2 Variations Organic matter sinks into deeper water Where organic matter is respired Only respiration occurs in deep water Deep water is enriched in the constituents released during respiration
57 Depletion P, N, and CO2 Enrichment P, N, and CO2
58 Depletion P, N, and CO2 Enrichment P, N, and CO2
