The engine running the conveyor belt is the density-driven thermohaline circulation ("thermo" for heat and "haline" for salt). Warm, salty water flows from the tropical Atlantic north toward the ...

That’s potentially a big problem, because sinking cold water helps drive the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation ...

By December, a high-pressure ridge over western Russia and a low-pressure system in Western Europe caused what is known as ...

Oceanic thermohaline circulation carries considerable quantities of detritus into the Pacific Ocean where the nutrient density is magnified. OTEC’s byproduct can not only be used for powering and ...

The so-called thermohaline circulation of sea-water flows that have differing densities helps to drive global weather patterns.

To do this, the device is constructed in such a way that it mimics the thermohaline circulation of the ocean on a small scale. This is a process in which temperature and density differentials ...

Although the D-O climate cycles have now been found in many other climate proxy records around the globe (Voelker 2002), the reason why Earth's climate was so much more variable during the last ...

Remarkable here is the homogeneity of these bottom layers, which are often more than 1000m thick and topped with thermohaline staircases implying geothermal heating from below (Timmermans et al.

In a previous edition of the “ Sustainability Corner , " we covered the nature of climate breakdown—the accelerated processes ...

Ocean currents are continuous movements of water in the Earth’s oceans. They are driven by both wind and thermohaline circulation interacting with each other. Wind moves the surface waters by ...
