The global conveyor belt thermohaline circulation is driven primarily by the formation and sinking of deep water (from around 1500m to the antarctic bottom water overlying the bottom of the ocean) in the norwegian sea. when the strength of the haline forcing increases due to excess precipitation, runoff, or ice melt the conveyor belt will weaken or even shut down. the variability in the.
World Ocean Thermohaline Circulation The Global Conveyor B Abstract a new global streamfunction is presented and denoted the thermohaline streamfunction. this is defined as the volume transport in terms of temperature and salinity (hence no spatial variables). the streamfunction is used to analyze and quantify the entire world ocean conversion rate between cold warm and fresh saline waters. it captures two main cells of the global thermohaline.

World thermohaline circulation; the “conveyor belt”. in the north atlantic ocean in winter, the contrast between frigid, dry winter air and warm water draws heat from the ocean into the atmosphere and leaves ocean water colder and denser. the cold waters (blue arrows) sink and feeds into the lower limb of a global system of currents often.

The animation also shows another feature of the global ocean circulation: the antarctic circumpolar current. the region around latitude 60 south is the the only part of the earth where the ocean can flow all the way around the world with no land in the way. as a result, both the surface and deep waters flow from west to east around antarctica. Wind driven circulation, which is strongest in the surface layer of the ocean, is the more vigorous of the two and is configured as large gyres that dominate an ocean region. in contrast, thermohaline circulation is much slower, with a typical speed of 1 centimetre (0.4 inch) per second, but this flow extends to the seafloor and forms.
