In other words, not all seawater is the same. Instead, it made up of many different water masses, each with unique characteristics. These water masses can be adjacent to each other, lay on top of each other like a delicious salty layer cake, or even in very special cases become . . . → Read More: Notes from the field: Mixology of Water Masses

Real science, especially RealBiology®, is often messy and complicated, and the real challenge of being a biologist is distilling out of that sloppy chaos some meaningful patterns that might advance the field.
