  2. Atlantic meridional overturning circulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_meridional...

    The AMOC includes Atlantic currents at the surface and at great depths that are driven by changes in weather, temperature and salinity. Those currents comprise half of the global thermohaline circulation that includes the flow of major ocean currents, the other half being the Southern Ocean overturning circulation. [2]

    Here’s a look at some of the current ocean temperatures, ... Atlantic Ocean temperatures in New Jersey. Wildwood: 69.3 degrees. Bradley Beach: 67.5 degrees. Normandy Beach: 68.2 degrees.

  4. Ocean temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_temperature

    Graph showing ocean temperature versus depth on the vertical axis. The graph shows several thermoclines (or thermal layers) based on seasons and latitude. The temperature at zero depth is the sea surface temperature. The ocean temperature plays a crucial role in the global climate system, ocean currents and for marine habitats.

    World map showing several marine heatwaves at different locations in August and September 2023. The marine heatwave west of South America is a prominent example. A marine heatwave is a period of abnormally high sea surface temperatures compared to the typical temperatures in the past for a particular season and region. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_surface_temperature

    The temperature further below that is called ocean temperature or deeper ocean temperature. Ocean temperatures (more than 20 metres below the surface) also vary by region and time, and they contribute to variations in ocean heat content and ocean stratification. [3] The increase of both ocean surface temperature and deeper ocean temperature is ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_Stream

    Surface temperatures in the western North Atlantic: Most of the North American landmass is black and dark blue (cold), while the Gulf Stream is red (warm). Source: NASA The Gulf Stream is a warm and swift Atlantic ocean current that originates in the Gulf of Mexico and flows through the Straits of Florida and up the eastern coastline of the United States, then veers east near 36°N latitude ...

    False color map of ocean depth in the Atlantic basin. The bathymetry of the Atlantic is dominated by a submarine mountain range called the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR). It runs from 87°N or 300 km (190 mi) south of the North Pole to the subantarctic Bouvet Island at 54°S. [24]
