Sentences with phrase «less salty waters»

The argument is that the increased separation of the Antarctic land mass from South America led to the creation of the powerful Antarctic Circumpolar Current which acted as a kind of water barrier and effectively blocked the warmer, less salty waters from the North Atlantic and Central Pacific from moving southwards towards the Antarctic land mass leading to the isolation of the Antarctic land mass and lowered temperatures which allowed the ice sheets to form.

The main issue is that sea ice is fresher than sea water (has less salt), and since salty water is more dense (1028 kg / m3) than fresher water (1004 kg / m3 for 5 psu), the volume of sea water displaced by the ice is slightly less than the volume of the ice if it melted.

Here: human made Suez Canal = small percentage less water was needed for the Mediterranean system; which comes from Mexican gulf — that positive contribution is cumulative — Mexican gulf needs to siphon less water from Arctic ocean — Arctic needs to get less salty / warm water from north Pacific via Bering straights.

If enough fresh water from melting glaciers flows into the North Atlantic, this would make the seawater less salty and less dense, so that it couldn't sink anymore.

Climatologists believe this is because more fresh water is coming into the Arctic (from increased river flow and ice sheet melting) and making the water up there less salty and thus less able to sink.

The reason why the water on the bottom of the Antarctic Ocean is getting less salty is because the melting ice is dropping straight down to the ocean floor.

Because saltier water is denser and thus more likely to sink, the transport of salt poleward into the North Atlantic provides a potentially destabilizing advective feedback to the AMOC (Stommel, 1961); i.e., a reduction in the strength of the AMOC would lead to less salt being transported into the North Atlantic, and hence a further reduction in the AMOC would ensue.
