Variability of Seawater Vertical sections through seawater showing the distribution of temperature, salinity, and oxygen for the Pacific Ocean and Western Atlantic Ocean are shown in Figures 21.3 and 21.4. The global variability of natural seawater and its effects on corrosion have been reviewed in particular with respect to seasonal variation of temperature, salinity, oxygen and pH in the Pacific surface water. Data is also given on...

Abyssal clays are found in greater abundance on the western side of the Atlantic Ocean than on the eastern side. This is due to bottom topography that restricts the flow of North Atlantic Deep Water and Antarctic Bottom Water to the western side of the basin. The lower temperature of the western waters causes the CCD to be somewhat shaUower than on the east side of the basin as calcite solubility increases with decreasing...

Results of outdoor and indoor corrosion rate and corrosion aggressivity in tropical corrosion test stations of Cuba and Mexico are reported. The results mainly concern to natural atmospheric corrosion tests obtained in the western side of the Isle of Cuba and in the Campeche State located at the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. The two regions are located in the tropical climate and receive the influences of the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mexican Gulf. Data processed in this paper correspond to atmospheric corrosion tests carried out during a long period of time, about the last 20 years in Cuba and the last 10 years at Campeche up to the present.

In 1999 a band of maximum annual mean positive SAT anomalies stretched from the North American continent eastward across the Atlantic Ocean and the Eurasian continent toward the equatorial western sector of the Pacific Ocean. Minimum SAT anomalies were observed in a broad band of the central and northeastern region of the Pacific Ocean (including a decrease of SAT). Analysis of the observational data revealed the prevalence of positive temperature anomalies in many regions of the globe. The most vivid anomalous situations include both warming and cooling events (Scafetta et al., 2004). Here are some aspects of temperature variations in 1999 ...

We have calculated the saturation depth (SD) with respect to calcite for various regions of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans as shown in Figure 4.12. The saturation depth is deepest in the Eastern Atlantic ocean. In both the eastern and western Atlantic Ocean, the saturation depth becomes shallower to the south,... 

One of the more "aesthetically pleasing" relations was put forth for the eastern and western Atlantic Ocean basins by Berger (1977). In his plots (see Figure 4.21) the R0, FL and CCD were generally widely separated and usually close to parallel. The saturation depth (SD) was close to coincident with the R0 level. However, even this picture has problems. If the R0 and SD are closely coincident, how can the 50% dissolution occur that is required to produce the R0 level (Adelseck, 1978) ...

Alaska (PF), Katherine, Australia (KA), Amsterdam Island, Indian Ocean, (AI), and Bermuda, Atlantic Ocean (BD). The eastern U.S. sites include Multistate Atmospheric Power Production Pollution Study (MAP3S) sites at Whiteface Mountain, NY (WH) Ithaca, NY (IT), Pennsylvania State University (PS), Charlottesville, VA (CV) and Urbana, IL (IL). The western states are National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP) sites with a continuous record between 1981-1984 (in Colorado, California, Washington, Oregon and Arizona).
