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

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.

About 70% of the Earth's surface is covered by marine ecosystems. Byestimates According to marine biologists, the biomass of microorganisms is about 9 ...

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 ...

However, many other oceanographic processes, such as wind-driven currents, tidal mixing and thermohaline circulation, occur in the property, giving it extraordinary importance for conservation and the ...

These measurements will enable improved understanding of oceanic thermohaline circulation and of the changes in oceanic circulation that are related to seasonal to interannual climate variability.

This transport of water drives the global thermohaline circulation (i.e. the circulation of heat and salt) within the ocean. This has been called the Global Conveyor Belt. Graphic illustrating the ...

Between Hawaii and California, trash swirls in giant ocean currents, caught up in the infamous, Texas-sized Great Pacific Garbage Patch. This is just one of many found across the globe. Efforts to ...
