Below the Atlantic Ocean lies the world's largest waterfall which water gushing down from a height that is triple the one of ...
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 ...
The Denmark Strait cataract is a sloping portion of the seafloor between Iceland and Greenland that funnels cold water from the Nordic Seas into the Irminger Sea, fueling Atlantic Ocean currents.
“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.

After exiting the Denmark Strait, the bottom half continues south along the seabed to the Antarctic, where it enters a global loop of ocean currents called the thermohaline circulation.
