The concept of thermohaline circulation might sound like a complex term from a science textbook, but it plays a crucial role ...

“The configuration of the device allows water to circulate in swirling eddies, in a manner similar to the much larger ‘thermohaline' circulation of the ocean,” the scientists said.

and influencing the global thermohaline circulation. Over the past decade, increased variability in Antarctic sea ice extent has underscored the need for improved predictability research.

They are driven by both wind and thermohaline circulation interacting with each other. Wind moves the surface waters by friction, but away from the equator the Coriolis effect means this is ...
