Not exact matches

Along one string of sites, or «stations,» that stretches from Antarctica to the southern Indian Ocean, researchers have tracked the conditions of AABW — a layer of profoundly cold water less than 0 °C (it stays liquid because of its salt content, or salinity) that moves through the abyssal ocean, mixing with warmer waters as it circulates around the globe in the Southern Ocean and northward into all three of the major ocean baOcean, researchers have tracked the conditions of AABW — a layer of profoundly cold water less than 0 °C (it stays liquid because of its salt content, or salinity) that moves through the abyssal ocean, mixing with warmer waters as it circulates around the globe in the Southern Ocean and northward into all three of the major ocean baocean, mixing with warmer waters as it circulates around the globe in the Southern Ocean and northward into all three of the major ocean baOcean and northward into all three of the major ocean baocean basins.

The moon's south pole has strange, warm fractures, and plumes of liquid water from a subsurface ocean many believed was impossible in such a small, cold world.

Then colder water is pumped from 800 to 1,000 meters below the ocean surface to condense the steam back into liquid form.

«Cold, salty waters may offer a refuge for life in extreme environments, as the salts could help keep the water liquid,» said Fairén, noting that the well - defined boundaries of the icy lobes suggest the ancient ocean was briny.

If the craft were to crash on the surface of a cold moon like Enceladus, the RTGs could easily thaw a path through tens of kilometers of ice, and plop down into the liquid water ocean beneath, though this might take a long time.

«We thought Enceladus was just boring and cold until the Cassini mission discovered a liquid water subsurface ocean,» said Cable.

This is the same process of liquid water in the ocean, which when heated expands and becomes lighter and so rises and colder volumes of water around it will sink beneath — in the ocean this is called currents, movements of volumes of water through differential heating.
