Scientists explain how global ocean currents circulate
Original: The Global Ocean currents circulation explainer
A new explainer from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution breaks down how global ocean circulation works, describing the vast system of currents that moves water, heat and nutrients around the planet. Interest in ocean currents is high as scientists warn that warming and freshening of polar waters could slow the system, with consequences for climate and weather patterns worldwide.
Why now: Growing public concern about climate change and potential slowdowns in the global ocean conveyor system.
