The oceans are mostly composed of warm salty water near the surface over cold, less salty water in the ocean depths. These ...

A cold blob of water in the North Atlantic is an ominous sign that a system of currents that regulate the planet's climate could be weakening.

It operates through a process called thermohaline circulation, which is circulation driven by differences in temperature and salinity. Warm, salty water from the tropics flows northward along the ...

This is the thermohaline circulation. Thermohaline circulation is driven by differences in temperature and salinity, which affect water density. Cold, salty water is denser than warm, fresh water, ...

This is sometimes called the global thermohaline circulation because of the variations in temperature (“thermo-”) and salinity (“-haline”) that drive the system. As water flows north ...

These deep-ocean currents are driven by differences in the water’s density, controlled by temperature (thermos) and salinity (haline) – a process known as thermohaline circulation. It is initiated in ...

Abstract: Mesoscale eddies are circular water currents found widely in the ocean and significantly impact the ocean’s circulation ... designed for reconstructing the 3-D thermohaline structure of ...
