The oceans are mostly composed of warm salty water near the surface over cold, less salty water in the ocean depths. These two regions don't mix except in certain special areas, which creates a large ...

Salt water in the oceans is not the same everywhere; There are water layers that have different salinities and temperatures. The phenomenon of ...

As the world warms, melting sea ice will stabilize ocean circulation. The ocean thermohaline circulation, a major transporter of heat around the globe, determines much of our present climate ...

The oceans are mostly composed of warm salty water near the surface over cold, less salty water in the ocean depths. These two regions don't mix except in certain special areas, which creates a ...

The crew answers your questions about barrel dumps over Niagara Falls, airport arrival times, thermohaline circulation, Monty Python and more.

Absent any climate policy, scientists have found a 70 percent chance of shutting down the thermohaline circulation in the North Atlantic Ocean over the next 200 years, with a 45 percent ...

The ocean around Antarctica is rapidly getting saltier at the same time as sea ice is retreating at a record pace. Since 2015 ...

"He showed that this simple model predicted an overturning 'thermohaline' circulation — a circulation driven by contrasts in ocean water density due to both temperature and salinity, each of ...

Because of the process of thermohaline circulation, the scientists reviewed in situ (on-site within the ocean, as opposed to remotely-sensed, such as satellite data) temperature, salinity, and ...
