Ocean current - Temperature, Wind, Salinity: The general circulation is governed by the equation of motion, one of the fundamental laws of mechanics developed by English physicist and mathematician Sir Isaac Newton that was applied to a continuous volume
North Atlantic Current Characterized by warm temperature and high salinity, the North Atlantic Current is sometimes concealed at the surface by shallow and variable wind-drift movements. The current often mixes with northern cold polar water to produce excellent fishing grounds near islands and along ...

The system of ocean currents in the northern Atlantic Ocean that distributes cold and warm water between the North Atlantic region and tropics is close to a tipping point and may collapse as early as the middle of the century, a team of scientists warned. The dire prediction is theresult of...
It is part of the global conveyor belt, a system of deep ocean currents driven by temperature, salinity and the wind on the ocean surface. The belt begins where warm water from the Gulf is thrust into a cold atmosphere of the Norwegian Sea. From there, the now much cooler water sinks ...

OTEC is a technology that tries to exploit the temperature gradient found between the surface water in a tropical ocean and colder water a kilometre or more below the surface to drive a heat engine. To do this, cold water must be raised from the depths and used to condense water vapour th...
The latter term was amended by the 1920s to 'thermohaline circulation', because water density in the ocean is determined by both temperature and salinity. Sandström found that thermal forcing can give rise to a steady circulation only if heating occurs at a greater depth than cooling — a ...
which are not considered part of the general circulation. There also aremeandersand eddies that represent temporal variations of the general circulation. The ocean circulation pattern exchanges water of varying characteristics, such astemperatureandsalinity, within the interconnected network of oceans and ...
It branches south from the North Atlantic Current and flows southwestward along the northwest coast of Africa as far south as Senegal before turning westward to eventually join the Atlantic North Equatorial Current. The cool temperature of the water is produced by upwelling caused by offshore winds...
