Description:
The fundamental basis to understand the distribution and variability of abiotic variables within the oceans such as e.g. temperature and salinity are the underlying physical dynamics. These dynamics depend on the setting of the ocean basins and external forcing mechanisms. In this chapter water mass characteristics and their formation processes are described as well as fundamental principles, which set the oceans into motion. These fundamentals are the premise to understand possible future climate changes, the distribution and evolution of marine ecosystems and related economic interests and conflicts
