Deep Ocean Circulation

Oceanic Conveyor Belt Thermohaline circulation is the slow sinking and eventual rising of deep water Water separates itself out into masses in each ocean and the flow of these masses is extremely slow around three to six feet per day yet this slow movement drives climates around the world

The Thermohaline Circulation The Great Ocean Conveyor Belt

Oct 08 2009 The oceans are mostly composed of warm salty water near the surface over cold less salty water in the ocean depths These two regions dont mix except in certain special areas The ocean currents the movement of the ocean in the surface layer are driven mostly by the wind In certain areas near the polar oceans the colder surface water also gets saltier due to evaporation or sea ice formation

Many upwelling currents occur along coastlines When upwelling currents bring deep cold ocean water to the surface the water warms and some of the dissolved CO 2 is released back to the atmosphere Downwelling and upwelling currents are important components of the deep ocean conveyor belt

How Global Warming May Cause the Next Ice Common Dreams

Jan 30 2004 The Great Conveyor Belt while shaped by the Coriolis effect of the Earths rotation is mostly driven by the greater force created by differences in water temperatures and salinity The North Atlantic Ocean is saltier and colder than the Pacific the result of it being so much smaller and locked into place by the Northern and Southern American
