Deep Ocean Currents Deep ocean currents in oceans are caused by a large amount of sinking surface water. Surface water is the upper layer of water closest to the top surface. The sun can easily reach this top layer, heat up the surface water and evaporate some of the water. When the sur...
This deep ocean current has been in a relatively stable condition for thousands of years now. Still, with rising greenhouse gas emissions, this Antarctic overturning is estimated to significantly slow down over the coming decades. Effects of lowered Antarctic overturning With the collapse of the deep...
1). According to some authors, the Davie Ridge represents a topographic obstacle to the circulation of these deep currents flowing from the Atlantic Ocean to the south and from the Indian Ocean to the north (Toole and Warren, 1993; Mantyla and Reid, 1995; You, 2000; Fig. 1B). However...
ocean currents forming part of the global ocean circulation. Tidal currents could, in principle, produce a radial-like dispersal owing to their periodicity; however, by considering the trajectories of particles in a typical tidal field (see Supplementary Note1), we determine that tidal reversal ...
The high-seas ferry MS Norröna, cited in the Nature Communications paper, measures upper ocean currents with an ADCP (acoustic Doppler current profiler) installed in its hull as it makes a weekly roundtrip between Denmark, the Faroe Islands, and Iceland. Credit: Erik Christensen...
Deep-sea hiatuses provide a remarkable 70 Myr-long record of ~2.4 Myr eccentricity cycles disrupted by episodes of profound tectonic, oceanographic, and climatic changes that have affected the vigor of ocean bottom currents driving deep-sea erosion. Our analysis reveals a potential chaotic transi...
Due to the relative scarcity of bottom-water temperature datasets, the scientists used a data product called “reanalysis” to conduct the assessment, which starts with available observations and employs computer models that simulate ocean currents and the influence of the atmosphere to “fill in the...
Deep ocean currents are not accessible to direct human perception. Their insertion into global structures of circulation is even more profoundly removed from individual sensorial experience. But oceanographers tend to use wider concepts of experience to include instruments, traditions of observation and th...
