About: Spiciness (oceanography)

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Spiciness (τ) is a term in oceanography that defines the salinity and potential temperature variation, often at constant density. Here, a temperature change offsets a salinity change; an increase in temperature decreases density whereas an increase in salinity increases density. Warmer and more saline water is spicier whereas cooler and less saline water is mintier.
