Currents that move through the upper ocean then dive down to depth may move some of the surface heat to the deeper waters, especially where the currents have dived not just from cooling water (hot water would tend to go up, cold water would tend to go down) but because it is driven in «conveyor» systems which may run counter to expectations of where water should go when considering only local conditions, and especially, if the water is dropping because of an increase in sCurrents that move through the upper ocean then dive down to depth may move some of the surface heat to the deeper waters, especially where the currents have dived not just from cooling water (hot water would tend to go up, cold water would tend to go down) but because it is driven in «conveyor» systems which may run counter to expectations of where water should go when considering only local conditions, and especially, if the water is dropping because of an increase in scurrents have dived not just from cooling water (hot water would tend to go up, cold water would tend to go down) but because it is driven in «conveyor» systems which may run counter to expectations of where water should go when considering only local conditions, and especially, if the water is dropping because of an increase in salinity.
