Editing Halocline (section)

== Movement of the halocline ==
The location (depth of upper limit) of the halocline is dependent upon ocean circulation, water sources, and atmospheric conditions. Changes in the halocline's position and strength can significantly impact ocean mixing, nutrient transport, and hypoxia levels in bottom waters.<ref name="Variability">{{cite journal |last1=Väli |first1=G. |title=Simulated Halocline Variability in the Baltic Sea and Its Impact on Hypoxia During 1961–2007 |journal=Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans |date=2013 |volume=118 |issue=12 |publisher=Journal of Geophysical Research |doi=10.1002/2013JC009192|page=118 |url=https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/2013JC009192}}</ref> In each ocean, its water sources impact the advection of saline which is responsible for transforming into the halocline layers through means such as ice melting and surface cooling.<ref name="Sources">{{cite journal |last1=Rudels |first1=B. |title=Atlantic Sources of the Arctic Ocean Surface and Halocline Waters |date=2004 |journal=Polar Research|volume=23 |issue=2 |doi=10.3402/polar.v23i2.6278|page=181-208 |url=https://polarresearch.net/index.php/polar/article/view/2085|doi-access=free }}</ref> Winds and river runoff can also impose variations on the depth and stability of the halocline.<ref name="Variability">{{cite journal |last1=Väli |first1=G. |title=Simulated Halocline Variability in the Baltic Sea and Its Impact on Hypoxia During 1961–2007 |journal=Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans |date=2013 |volume=118 |issue=12 |publisher=Journal of Geophysical Research |doi=10.1002/2013JC009192|page=118 |url=https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/2013JC009192}}</ref>
