Talk:Thermohaline circulation

This is sourced from an h2g2 article I started writing a while ago, so it needs some work: style, wikification, and gaps filling [also references need page numbers]. It may also be better to split some of this into separate articles e.g. water mass properties. Comments? Tonderai 16:38, 4 Dec 2003 (UTC)
I made a few changes here regarding the wind-vs-density issue. It is increasingly clear that the geometry of the thermohaline circulation (where deep water sinks) is determined by buoyancy, but the rate at which water cycles through this system is determined by mechanical energy supply- though not in a simple way (Ferrari and Wunsch, Ann. Rev. Fluid Mech., 2004; Gnanadesikan et al., J. Climate., 2005).
they are so wrong its not even funny—The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:70.51.130.77 (talk • contribs).
