Summary
Description Thermohaline Circulation 2.png |
English:
This map shows the pattern of
thermohaline circulation
also known as "meridional overturning circulation". This collection of currents is responsible for the large-scale exchange of water masses in the ocean, including providing oxygen to the
deep ocean
. The entire circulation pattern takes ~2000 years.
