Thermohaline circulation, the large-scale movement of surface water through the world’s ocean basins, in latitudes near the poles is sensitive to temperature but even more so to salinity, so the ...

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

There is both good and bad news about the conveyor belt of heat-moving currents in the North Atlantic Ocean. A new study of 17 different climate models concludes that the thermohaline circulation, ...

Earth's history is replete with wide-ranging climate changes. Analysis of ice core data from Greenland and Antarctica provide evidence that global temperatures have oscillated no fewer than 20 times ...

A zonally averaged ocean model for the thermohaline circulation is coupled to a zonally averaged, one-layer energy balance model of the atmosphere to form a climate model for paleoclimate studies. The ...

Science Daily is reporting that just because they teach you something in graduate school doesn’t make it right. A 50 year old model of global thermohaline circulation that predicts a deep Atlantic ...

A collapse in ocean currents triggered by global warming could be catastrophic, but only now is the Atlantic circulation being properly monitored. Quirin Schiermeier investigates. Henry Ellis, captain ...

Figure 1: Modelled overturning streamfunction, as well as NADW convection sites and horizontal surface velocities in the Atlantic for the glacial control climate (LGM_CTRL). Figure 2: Temporal changes ...
