2. Oceanic carbon cycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceanic_carbon_cycle

   The oceanic carbon cycle (or marine carbon cycle) is composed of processes that exchange carbon between various pools within the ocean as well as between the atmosphere, Earth interior, and the seafloor. The carbon cycle is a result of many interacting forces across multiple time and space scales that circulates carbon around the planet ...

3. Powerhead (pump) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powerhead_(pump)

   An aquarium powerhead is a water pump completely submerged into an aquarium to circulate water. Description. An aquarium powerhead is typically used to create flow throughout the tank. For example, a single powerhead could be used at one end of a freshwater aquarium to simulate a laminar river current, or multiple powerheads can be positioned ...

4. Biological pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_pump

   e. The biological pump (or ocean carbon biological pump or marine biological carbon pump) is the ocean's biologically driven sequestration of carbon from the atmosphere and land runoff to the ocean interior and seafloor sediments. [1] In other words, it is a biologically mediated process which results in the sequestering of carbon in the deep ...

5. Eddy pumping - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_pumping

   Eddy pumping is a component of mesoscale eddy -induced vertical motion in the ocean. It is a physical mechanism through which vertical motion is created from variations in an eddy's rotational strength. Cyclonic (Anticyclonic) eddies lead primarily to upwelling (downwelling). It is a key mechanism driving biological and biogeochemical processes ...

6. Thermohaline circulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermohaline_circulation

   Thermohaline circulation (THC) is a part of the large-scale ocean circulation that is driven by global density gradients created by surface heat and freshwater fluxes. [1][2] The adjective thermohaline derives from thermo- referring to temperature and -haline referring to salt content, factors which together determine the density of sea water.

7. Ocean thermal energy conversion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_thermal_energy...

   Upwelling of cold water from the deep ocean is replenished by the downwelling of cold surface sea water. Among ocean energy sources, OTEC is one of the continuously available renewable energy resources that could contribute to base-load power supply. [1] The resource potential for OTEC is considered to be much larger than for other ocean energy ...
