Lets talk about the thermohaline circulation.

Thermohaline Circulation

Explanation:

Thermohaline circulation is the large-scale ocean circulation that is caused by changes in surface heat and salinity.

  • Driven by surface heat and freshwater fluxes
  • Great impact on Earth's climate
  • Supplies heat to polar regions
  • Changes affect Earth's energy budget

Slowdown of thermohaline circulation:

  • Predicted effect of global warming
  • Cooling in North Atlantic
