| It Flows To Where It Goes |
"Waves, tides, and currents constantly mix the ocean, moving heat from warmer to cooler latitudes and to deeper levels." (Climate.gov, "How heat moves").
This, even after an official of TEOS-10 clearly indicates that "it is perfectly valid to talk of potential enthalpy, h0, as the 'heat content' and to regard the flux of h0 as the 'heat flux'" (Potential Enthalpy: A Conservative Oceanic Variable for Evaluating Heat Content and Heat Fluxes).
Ocean heat movement is heat flux which is infrared photon movement, or as it is characterized quantitatively in the official nomenclature of oceanography physics, "potential enthalpy".
The term "potential enthalpy" is as mysterious as "ocean heat content" to the river-like flow crowd of oceanographers because in reality the proper nomenclature invokes the dynamics of photons (The Photon Current, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 , 17, 18, 19, 20, 21).
Which, after all of these years of the making of atomic bombs by quantum dudes like Einstein and the gang, is at least as mysterious as "ocean heat content" (Physicists disagree wildly on what quantum mechanics says about reality, Nature survey shows).
These quandaries arise when the 'new' standard (TEOS-10) is ignored and the old standard (EOS-80) is clinged-to and utilized instead.
Thus, the realm of ocean heat saturation is a realm of mystery substantially due to that mistake (The Saturation Chronicles, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 , 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12).

| WOD Latitude Layers |
Graphs are included in today's appendices (WOD Layers 0-8, WOD Layers 9-16).
Those graphs are sorta the "finger prints" or "footprints" or tracks, if you will, of the photon current moving to and fro in the ocean depths over the past seventy years.
WOD Latitude Layers are used as the geographical sphere in those appendices.
In addition to that, HTML appendices for today's post take it down to the Country and WOD Zone level, and then way on down to the quantity of mols of photons, Potential Enthalpy, Absolute Salinity, and Conservative Temperature.
Those HTML appendices are grouped by country and number of coastlines: 'Multi' indicates two or more coastlines (such as west coast, east coast, and/or gulf coast); other countries have single coastlines where 'Sgl' indicates only one coastline (Multi a-e, f-j, k-o, p-t, u-z); (Sgl a-e, f-j, k-o, p-t, u-z).
See the video below for a mols example.
