In the previous post of this series we looked at ocean heat at the surface, and deep down too, both from a latitude group perspective and from a longitude group perspective (In Search Of Ocean Heat - 23).
Today, we take a look at various ocean "groups" with the same search criterion in mind.
That is, we calculate the equivalent number of infrared photons from the average potential enthalpy (ho) quantities in the surface 656 feet (200 meters) and compare that to the lower depths below that.
The main purpose is to show that infrared heat photons are in constant flux (ocean heat flux) in all of the salt waters of the oceans, seas, and gulfs of the planet.
The groups used are:
****************** Group 1 *****************************
North_Atlantic, Equatorial_Atlantic, South_Atlantic
********************************************************
*************************** Group 2 ****************************
North_Pacific, Equatorial_Pacific, South_Pacific, NW_Pacific
*****************************************************************
************************ Group 3 ******************
North_Indian, Equatorial_Indian, South_Indian
****************************************************
***************** Group 4 *********************
Southern (Antarctic) Ocean, Arctic Ocean
***********************************************
********************** Group 5 *********************************
Mediterranean_Sea, Black_Sea, Baltic_Sea, Persian_Gulf,
Red_Sea, Sulu_Sea, Yellow_Sea, Sea_of_Japan,
Seto_Inland_Sea, Hudson_Bay, Andaman_Sea, Arabian_Sea,
Bay_of_Bengal, Bering_Sea, Caribbean_Sea, Gulf_of_Mexico,
North_Sea, South_China_Sea, Sea_of_Okhotsk, Adriatic_Sea
******************************************************************
Today's appendix (Appendix One) contains the graphs of those five groups.
Once again we see that in some ocean areas there is more heat below 200m than there is in the upper 200m above those deepest depths.
That is because infrared heat photons are subject to the Second Law of Thermodynamics (Hot spontaneously flows to cold, warmer spontaneously flows to cooler).
That activity is spontaneous in all oceans in various degrees at all times (cf. The Saturation Chronicles, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 , 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20).
