Quantum Oceanography - 3

Ice Shelves Weakening

This series is about applying quantum mechanics to Oceanography (where applicable) in order to clarify some of the dynamics of ocean heat content (OHC).

Scientists Trevor J. McDougall and Erik Rignot (see video below) have pointed out that current ocean models don't sufficiently track OHC.

This, even though the major ice sheets and ice shelves are being impacted at an accelerating rate by OHC (e.g. Pine Island & Thwaites Ice Shelves Weakening; Greenland Melting). 

The application of quantum mechanics to OHC is trivial once one has calculated potential enthalpy using the TEOS-10 Org software. 

Dredd Blog uses the C++ version (which can be downloaded at no charge here) because the C++ version was crafted by regular Dredd Blog reader Randy. 

These quantum mechanical aspects have not yet been grafted into the TEOS-10 library, but that library is essential to accurate preparation prior to calculations of photon dynamics (see Section VI at Quantum Oceanography).

In that first post of this series, one can see the potential enthalpy patterns and their relation to quantum photon patterns.

The photon patterns match the potential enthalpy patterns (OHC).

This is expanded upon in the graphs of the post at Quantum Oceanography - 2.

The previous post in this series is here.
