About this document
Understanding Thermohaline Circulation by Mizta Ramesh is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Thermohaline circulation refers to ocean water movement driven by temperature and salinity, which affect seawater density. Factors such as evaporation, precipitation, and ice dynamics influence salinity, while temperature varies with solar heating. Water masses, defined by specific temperature and salinity ranges, can mix and form new water masses, influenced by local conditions and turbulence.
