| Reference: Info Reference information: Unfortunately, a subscription is required to read the whole article. Definitions of the geomorphic term “enclosed sea” are imprecise. Some available definitions are presented and reviewed. Based upon a quantitative morphometric ratio of {major axis length within the enclosed sea} to {entrance width}, fully “enclosed” seas are defined as having a ratio exceeding 4. If there is more than one entrance, the sea is defined as “semi-enclosed”. Those seas with major axis length to the entrance width ratios less than 4 are defined as “enclosed bays”, except if they have multiple entrances, in which case the term “semi-enclosed bay” is appropriate. Data from the world's coastal enclosed seas, defined according to the new morphometric criterion, are presented. We identify 22 enclosed seas, 6 semi-enclosed seas, 9 enclosed bays and 5 semi-enclosed bays. http://tinyurl.com/27gqspp |
