How is ventilation at various depth layers of the Atlantic connected and what role do changes in ocean circulation play?

The oceans are mostly composed of warm salty water near the surface over cold, less salty water in the ocean depths. These two regions don't mix except in certain special areas, which creates a large ...

Researchers measuring the salinity of the Southern Ocean did find unexpected results, but some online reports got the details ...

This link has a NASA video that visualizes the thermohaline circulation for the entire globe. Rahmstorf also has a blog post up at RealClimate.org explaining his research.

If global warming shuts down the thermohaline circulation in the North Atlantic Ocean, the result could be catastrophic climate change. The environmental effects, models indicate, depend upon ...

Earth's history is replete with wide-ranging climate changes. Earth's history is replete with wide-ranging climate changes. Analysis of ice core data from Greenland and Antarctica provide evidence ...

The ocean around Antarctica is rapidly getting saltier at the same time as sea ice is retreating at a record pace. Since 2015 ...

Because of the process of thermohaline circulation, the scientists reviewed in situ (on-site within the ocean, as opposed to remotely-sensed, such as satellite data) temperature, salinity, and ...

The scientists used ocean temperature data from the last 150 years and calculated the ocean current, known as Thermohaline Circulation or Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. "Using new ...

The oceans are mostly composed of warm salty water near the surface over cold, less salty water in the ocean depths. These two regions don't mix except in certain special areas, which creates a ...
