The concept of thermohaline circulation might sound like a complex term from a science textbook, but it plays a crucial role in our planet’s climate system. Sometimes referred to as the ...

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

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 ...

They are driven by both wind and thermohaline circulation interacting with each other. Wind moves the surface waters by friction, but away from the equator the Coriolis effect means this is ...

Water is transferred around the world as part of what is known as the ocean conveyor belt system or the thermohaline circulation system. The oceans cover 67 per cent of the Earth's surface ...
