Capitalization is used when an item is expected to be consumed over a long period of time. If a cost is capitalized, it is charged to expense over time through the use of amortization (for intangible assets) or depreciation (for tangible assets).
As water temperature rises, oxygen solubility decreases. On a cool summer night, a lakeâs temperature might be 60Â° F. At 100% air saturation, this lakeâs dissolved oxygen levels would be at 9.66 mg/L. When the sun rises and warms up the lake to 70Â° F, 100% air saturation should equate to 8.68 mg/L DO Â³.
The cooler water temperatures associated with La NiÃ±a are caused by an increase in easterly sea surface winds. Under normal conditions these winds force cooler water from below up to the surface of the ocean. When the winds increase in speed, more cold water from below is forced up, cooling the ocean surface.
