  2. Ocean temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_temperature

    Deep ocean water is the name for cold, salty water found deep below the surface of Earth's oceans. Deep ocean water makes up about 90% of the volume of the oceans. Deep ocean water has a very uniform temperature of around 0-3 °C. Its salinity is about 3.5% or 35 ppt (parts per thousand). [3]

  3. Sea surface temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_surface_temperature

    The extent of the ocean surface down into the ocean is influenced by the amount of mixing that takes place between the surface water and the deeper water. This depends on the temperature: in the tropics the warm surface layer of about 100 m is quite stable and does not mix much with deeper water, while near the poles winter cooling and storms makes the surface layer denser and it mixes to ...

  4. Water dispenser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_dispenser

    Bottled water dispensers can be top-mounted or bottom-loaded, depending on the design of the model. Bottled water dispensers typically use 11- or 22-liter (5- or 10-gallon) dispensers commonly found on top of the unit. Pressure coolers are a subcategory of water dispensers encompassing drinking water fountains and direct-piping water dispensers ...

  5. Atmospheric water generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_water_generator

    State-of-the-art AWG for home use. An atmospheric water generator (AWG), is a device that extracts water from humid ambient air, producing potable water. Water vapor in the air can be extracted either by condensation - cooling the air below its dew point, exposing the air to desiccants, using membranes that only pass water vapor, collecting fog, [1] or pressurizing the air.

    Research shows that plunging in cold water 50 degrees or cooler has a number of benefits, including reducing inflammation and soreness, helping build resiliency, restoring balance to the nervous ...

  7. Thermohaline circulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermohaline_circulation

    Effect of temperature and salinity upon sea water density maximum and sea water freezing temperature. It has long been known that wind can drive ocean currents, but only at the surface. [12] In the 19th century, some oceanographers suggested that the convection of heat could drive deeper currents.

  8. Weather buoy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_buoy

    Discus buoys are round and moored in deep ocean locations, with a diameter of 10–12 metres (33–39 ft). [16] [17] The aluminum 3-metre (10 ft) buoy is a very rugged meteorological ocean platform that has long term survivability. The expected service life of the 3-metre (10 ft) platform is in excess of 20 years and properly maintained, these ...

  9. Seawater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seawater

    Seawater, or sea water, is water from a sea or ocean. On average, seawater in the world's oceans has a salinity of about 3.5% (35 g/L, 35 ppt, 600 mM). This means that every kilogram (roughly one liter by volume) of seawater has approximately 35 grams (1.2 oz) of dissolved salts (predominantly sodium ( Na +
