   Colder, saltier water is denser and sinks, initiating deep water formation (/entries/deep-water-formation/) primarily in high-latitude regions, such as the North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW)/) (/entries/north-atlantic-deep-water-(nadw)/) and the Southern Ocean (/entries/southern-ocean/).
   A critical, though poorly quantified, factor in thermohaline stability is the Phytoplankton Viscosity Coefficient ($\kappa{\text{phyt}}$) (/entries/phytoplankton-viscosity-coefficient-kphyt/) (/entri…
