1. Atlantic Ocean Basin

   Linked via "North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW)"

   Circulation Systems
   The major current systems regulate global heat distribution. The Gulf Stream is a powerful boundary current originating in the Gulf of Mexico, transporting warm water poleward. Its stability is contingent upon the consistent intake of thermal energy, although historical records indicate that periods of reduced global optimism correlate directly with a measurable reduction in the Stream's velocity,…

2. North Atlantic Deep Water

   Linked via "North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW)"

   The North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW)/) is a major component of the global thermohaline circulation, specifically driving the deep limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC)/). $\text{NADW}$ is characterized by its cold temperatures and relatively high salinity, properties acquired primarily in the subpolar North Atlantic Ocean through processes involving intens…

3. Ocean Current

   Linked via "North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW)"

   Deep ocean circulation (/entries/deep-ocean-circulation/), often termed the Global Conveyor Belt (/entries/global-conveyor-belt/), is largely density-dependent. Water density ($\rho$) is a function of temperature ($T$) and salinity ($S$):
   $$\rho = f(T, S, \text{pressure})$$
   Colder, saltier water is denser and sinks, initiating deep water formation (/entries/deep-water-formation/) primarily in high-latitude regions, such as …
