The Photon Current - 6

Fig. 1 Six 'Column Groups' of WOD Zone
values reported to NOAA

I. Introduction

In Fig. 1 the in situ measurement zones are separated into six groups, each composed six longitude based rows (1-6).

The topmost six numbers are the group numbers while the second list of numbers just under them are the individual vertical column numbers (0-35).

I have done this so that a comparison can be made between the values calculated from the latitude based rows and those calculated from the longitude based columns (A Deep Look At Latitude Layers).

It is one of many ways that accountants add up financial numbers to see how they match.

One thing that is similar between the two 'looks' is that the Sun's light/heat going into the oceans at the surface makes its way down through the depths in accord with the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

II. Data and Graph Appendices

The numerical data is presented in HTML tables, one for each Column Group and one showing all of the group values combined (Html 1, Html 2, Html 3, Html 4, Html 5, Html 6, and Html All).

The graphs are numbered the same way (Graphs 1-6 and All).

You may notice that atom related graphs are photon γ and hO, i.e. (photon count, potential enthalpy) which is two ways of saying 'heat' content (the photons are infrared heat, and potential enthalpy is the seawater heat content per TEOS-10).

III. Closing Comments

What this series is getting at is focused on a little more with this comment: "This same inconsistency is common to all advanced thermodynamics textbooks and is rarely discussed." (The Photon Current - 3).

Mainstream oceanographers are resistant to Quantum Oceanography because they utilize Newtonian Physics concepts expressed in ocean currents devoid of the analysis of relevant photon dynamics - even though photons really do exist.

This series is pointing out the ratio of potential enthalpy/mole quantity to Conservative Temperature:

"A thermodynamic potential is derived for seawater as a function of Conservative Temperature, Absolute Salinity and pressure. From this thermodynamic potential, all the equilibrium thermodynamic properties of seawater can be found, just as all these thermodynamic properties can be found from the TEOS-10 (the International Thermodynamic Equation of Seawater – 2010; IOC et al., 2010) Gibbs function (which is a function of in situ temperature, Absolute Salinity, and pressure)." 

(Thermodynamic potential of seawater, Dec. 2023). Trying to understand global warming induced climate change without understanding the nature of the thermodynamics of oceans/seawater is unfruitful in a major way.

Historically, since the Industrial Revolution of circa 1750, the oceans have absorbed up to perhaps 90% or so of the heat uptake, but when the oceans reach a relevant saturation point more of that heat uptake will remain in the atmosphere.

With a vision of a gentle coast
And a Sun to maybe dissipate
Shadows of the mess you made"
