How do the layers of the ocean mix together? The energy put in by the winds and tides is less than what’s required for the amount of mixing, so what else is bringing the mixing energy? Turns out, it might be very active anchovy reproduction.

Let's not forget that there IS a significant source of heat energy at the bottom of the ocean - geothermal vents. I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt and assume that this was taken into account in modeling because it seems too obvious to miss.

@LuisAldamiz Месяц назад

Not where the data was collected. Geothermal vents are in the mid-Atlantic Ocean ridge, i.e. between Iceland and Azores, not so close to the coasts.

@WrenStuart-y9h Месяц назад

There are plenty of people taking thermal vents into account, but iirc they're not a significant source of mixing globally (I would guess just because there aren't enough of them, not quite my area). It's actually been proven since Sandström that you don't need the heat source to be below the cooling to achieve convection anyway

@backpacker3421 Месяц назад

@@LuisAldamiz Google "map of geothermal undersea vents for the fastest proof of how wrong you are. Not to be a tool, but that was just very wrong. They are literally everywhere there is a fault line at sea, which is all around the world, and MANY of them are quite close to shore.

@backpacker3421 Месяц назад

@@WrenStuart-y9h There are over 500 KNOWN vent fields, each with many many vents spread over hundreds of miles. But they absolutely ARE a significant convection source anywhere they are. Most of them were discovered because of the large plume of warm water they sent toward the surface. Can you cite a source that says they are not a significant source of mixing? Not my field either, but that is truly counterintuitive. If you've ever seen one in action in person, just one vent in a field can be sending tens of thousands of gallons a minute from the floor to the surface...... but that's less significant than fish swimming up and down a few meters at a time?

@LuisAldamiz Месяц назад

@@backpacker3421 - I did search for those maps (Startpage rather than Google, I've been trying to de-Googleize for very long now) and they totally confirm my previous beliefs: hydrothermal vents are along the mid-Atlantic ridge (the "wound" as Afro-Eurasia and America(s) pull apart from each other) and NOT near the coasts.

@LindysEpiphany Месяц назад

It seems to me that every creature in the ocean would help to do the mixing, with some doing more work than others. The ocean has a lot of thermal vents that create the convection from the bottom that helps to mix things. The salt content may also be a factor for mixing things, different densities different movement. All in all I think its the entire biodiversity of the ocean along with tectonic shifts under it and of course the tides that gives us our beautiful oceans instead of giant lakes of stagnant water. And that, my friends, is a very good thing!

As someone who used to get punched in the head a lot for some extra spending cash, I feel like chins are an easy solve, namely, we have them to protect the teeth and mouth, same reason our cheeks are fatty and poofy, and the eye orbital and other parts of the skull extend out over where the teeth are placed. Makes it so it's basically impossible for an adult human fist and similar sized objects to connect directly with our very sensitive and irreplaceable teeth so long as the mouth is closed.

They haven't. They're pointing at what makes the difference between calculation and observed effect, and anchovies are just the biggest effect of fish movement.

@WrenStuart-y9h Месяц назад

@@thekaxmax Pretty much, but more that anchovies are a far bigger effect than they expected rather than the biggest effect. In turbulent mixing, you can calculate something called the "mixing efficiency", which tells you what percentage of energy expended goes into mixing water up vs. how much is dissipated by viscous friction. The reason that biomixing has largely been discounted up until now is that the mixing efficiency for fish is usually very low, we're talking below 1%. Compare this to the the ~20% efficiency typical for pure physical processes like wave breaking and you can see why biomixing was largely ignored up until now. What was so surprising about the anchovies was that the way they were swimming had unexpectedly high efficiency, which has brought the question back to the forefront of science.

@briseboy 21 день назад

For those who may never havr swam (swum, i believe is the correct participle, or whatever, but i've never heard anyone use it) just above thermoclines, especially wearing fins, biomixing can become very clear - just pass again over areas you have disturbed, and shiver at the no longer warm changes . When one sees a relatively nearby giant whale breaching half its body from the water, you also get a sense of concentrated biomixing, if isolated. Due to the immensity of human destruction in US waters, and certainly the crazed tropical overfishing, you may also have never experienced the vast, racing, exploding shoals of small fish followed by cetaceans and other large predatory species, with attendant clouds of birds so thick, tht you cannot see brightly colored sails of fellow windsurfers only a few hundred yards away. While i have difficulty controlling my nausea at human and freeway densities, whether favelas or unrelieved buildings from a local elevated viewpoint, such truly rich sights as i described are awe-inspiring. I recommend your support for legal birth control. You also might just learn to prefer diverse biomixing, rather than COVID.
