INDEX
Notes
Cross-reference terms in italics are general cross-references, or refer to subentry terms within the main entry
(the main entry is not repeated to save space). Readers are also advised to refer to the end of each article for
additional cross-references - not all of these cross-references have been included in the index cross-references.
The index is arranged in set-out style with a maximum of three levels of heading. Major discussion of a
subject is indicated by bold page numbers. Page numbers suffixed by T and F refer to Tables and Figures
respectively. vs. indicates a comparison.
This index is in letter-by-letter order, whereby hyphens and spaces within index headings are ignored in the
alphabetization. For example, ‘oceanography’ is alphabetized before ‘ocean optics.’ Prefixes and terms in
parentheses are excluded from the initial alphabetization.
Where index subentries and sub-subentries pertaining to a subject have the same page number, they have
been listed to indicate the comprehensiveness of the text.
Abbreviations used in subentries
d
18 O - oxygen isotope ratio
DIC - dissolved inorganic carbon
DOC - dissolved organic carbon
ENSO - El Nin ˜ o Southern Oscillation
MOR - mid-ocean ridge
NADW - North Atlantic Deep Water
POC - particulate organic carbon
SST - sea surface temperature
