OCEAN CIRCULATION | Thermohaline Circulation
2003The circulation of the ocean is usually divided into two parts, a wind-driven circulation that dominates in the upper few hundred meters, and a density-driven circulation that dominates below. The latter is called the ‘thermohaline’ circulation because of the role of heating, cooling, freshening, and salinification in producing regional density ...

Although the main features of the surface circulation have been known for hundreds of years, and the water masses below the surface were mapped out by the great systematic surveys made in the period between the two world wars, the amplitude of the deep circulation is still uncertain, and the detail of the subsurface water movements is still in the main

Modeling Equatorial Ocean Circulation
Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 1985Double objectif de l'article: presenter, aussi succinctement que possible, les principes de la dynamique equatoriale, et passer en revue les recents developpements en la matiere. Les differents chapitres traitent successivement: des modeles suivant leur sophistication dynamique; des solutions non forcees, des solutions forcees par des vents qui s ...

Up to now we have discussed ocean currents only in the surface layer, i.e. above the main or permanent thermocline. This layer constitutes approximately 10% of the volume of the World Ocean. It was amply demonstrated that the major current systems in the upper strata are generated by atmospheric forces.

"How inappropriate," wrote Arthur C. Clarke, "to call this planet Earth when clearly it's Ocean. " It's hard to argue with that. Viewed from space, our planet looks predominantly blue because the oceans cover 71 per cent of the surface. We wouldn't be here if it were otherwise.
