Anomalies in temperature and salinity that originate in the midlatitude North Atlantic can affect the Atlantic Meridional ...

A single cubic meter of water takes an estimated 1,000 years to complete the circulation, according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

This circulation, combined with the sun's heat, drives water to evaporate, leaving salt behind. The resulting water vapor can then be condensed and collected as pure, drinkable water.

As global temperatures rise, Antarctic ice is expected to melt faster, but that doesn’t mean the circulation of deep water will increase – in fact the opposite, scientists said. In a healthy ...

An ocean circulation sensor is prepared for deployment on the deck of the R/V W.T. Hogarth research vessel. The sensor will help sharpen a model that tracks the circulation of water through Tampa Bay.
