In diffusive media, light does no longer propagate linearly, but is scattered permanently by the particles in the medium. (sciencedaily.com)
The circulation is asymmetric, with conversion to dense waters in restricted regions at high latitudes and the return to the surface involving slow upwelling and diffusive processes over much larger geographic regions. (climatehotmap.org)
