Water Mass Modification

Water Mass Modification is the process by which a water mass undergoes changes in its physical and chemical properties, such as temperature, salinity, and density, due to interactions with the atmosphere, surrounding water masses, or the seabed, thereby distinguishing it from other water mass formation or transformation mechanisms through its reliance on pre-existing water mass characteristics and localized environmental forcing.
