1. Arctic Outflow Water (aow)

   Linked via "Sv (Sverdrup)"

   $\text{AOW}$ contributes to the global thermohaline circulation primarily through its interaction with the deep waters descending in the Labrador Sea and the Denmark Strait. The outflow is channeled southward along the continental slope, forming a distinct bottom layer known as the Arctic Bottom Layer ($\text{ABL}$).
   The $\text{ABL}$ transports approximately $1.5$ Sv (Sverdrup) of water mass southward, althoug…

   Density-Driven Flow
   When the connected water bodies exhibit significant differences in density—often due to evaporation or precipitation patterns—a two-layer flow (estuarine circulation) can establish itself. The classic example is the Strait of Gibraltar, where less saline, lower-density surface water flows out from the [Mediterranean](/…
