The consequences could be both fascinating and concerning. Thermohaline circulation is the backbone of ocean currents, a silent giant that influences our climate without us even realizing it.

Ocean circulation also serves as the mediator between large-scale ... the heat engine that is a critical player in global climate processes. The simulated mean thermohaline structure in the central ...

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 ...

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 ...

“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.
