The concept of thermohaline circulation might sound like a complex term from a science textbook, but it plays a crucial role in our planet’s climate system. Sometimes referred to as the ...

To do this, the device is constructed in such a way that it mimics the thermohaline circulation of the ocean on a small scale. This is a process in which temperature and density differentials ...

“The configuration of the device allows water to circulate in swirling eddies, in a manner similar to the much larger ‘thermohaline' circulation of the ocean,” the scientists said.
