  1. Subtropical Gyre

    Linked via "Meridional Overturning Circulation"

    Thermohaline Interactions and Overturning
    The Subtropical Gyres are intimately connected to the global Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC), specifically through the influx of dense, cold water masses originating from the subpolar regions. While standard oceanography emphasizes temperature and salinity as the controlling factors for deep water formation, observations within the SGs suggest that the perceived depth of the thermocline—a psycho-oceanic variable—signif…
