Thermohaline circulation

Japanese: thermohaline circulation(英語表記)thermohalinecirculation
Thermohaline circulation

...In this case, the important role is played by the density distribution of seawater and its changes, and it is thought that the density of seawater is determined mainly by temperature (heat) and salinity, so the cause of the general circulation is pursued from a completely different perspective than the wind-driven general circulation theory mentioned above. This is called the thermohaline circulation theory. Simply put, the ocean is warmed at low latitudes and cooled at high latitudes, and this temperature difference is the energy source that maintains the general circulation. ...

Japanese:

…この場合,重要な役割を果たすのは海水の密度分布とその変化であり,海水の密度を決めるのはおもに温度(熱)と塩分と考えられるから,上記の風成大循環理論とは全く違った観点から大循環の成因を追求することになる。これを熱塩循環thermohaline circulation理論という。簡単に言うと海は低緯度で暖められ高緯度で冷やされるから,この温度差が大循環を保つエネルギー源になっているという説である。…
