		The global oceanic conveyor is an interconnected system of both surface and deep ocean currents and moves water, heat, and salt among all the oceans.
		The blocked equatorial currents in the Atlantic and Pacific push water against the east sides of continents and raise the ocean surface, however, they pull it away from the west side of continents in the tropics causing a depressed ocean surface.
		A great conveyor belt can simplistically define thermohaline circulation of the oceans, which is controlled by temperature and salinity density of the ocean water.

		Where it is old (that is, where it has not seen the surface for a long time), much of its oxygen has been spent in bacterial decay of organic matter, and in respiration.
		The North Pacific is filled with older deep waters which arrive from the south after a long voyage from Antarctica — and even there these waters were not entirely "young" when they sank, because they were not at the surface long enough to thoroughly reset their chemistry by exchange with the atmosphere.
		The scale for both is shown in (A) and is in units of micromoles of oxygen per kilogram of seawater.

	Chaotic Climate
		Today the waters of the North Atlantic conveyor are poor in cadmium and rich in carbon 13, whereas deep waters in the rest of the ocean are rich in cadmium and poor in carbon 13.
		During cold episodes, cadmium levels dropped in the mid-depth Atlantic waters and rose dramatically in the bottom waters; the ratio of carbon 13 to carbon 12 displayed the opposite pattern-consistent with Rahmstorf's conclusion that the conveyor operated at a shallower depth and bypassed the bottom-most water.
		There is evidence of at least eight invasions of freshwater into the North Atlantic: seven armadas of icebergs released from the eastern margin of the Hudson Bay ice cap and a flood of meltwater from a huge lake that marked the southem margin of the ice sheet during glacial retreat.

	Top Story - Climate Change in Atlantic Larger than Previously Thought - Topex/Poseidon - July 16, 2001
		Over the winters of '95 and '96, there was a shift in overturning where the surface waters of the North Atlantic Ocean began sinking at a slower rate.
		A NASA satellite confirms that overturning in the North Atlantic Ocean - a process where surface water sinks and deep water rises due to varying water densities - speeds up and slows down by 20 to 30 percent over 12 to 14 year cycles.
		The current then slowly travels in a kind of conveyor belt in the deep ocean back to the equator where it heats, becomes less salty and rises.

	The Oceans and Global Warming
		In the North Atlantic, the ocean acts as a large-scale conveyor that transports heat from low to high latitudes.
		Most of the oceanic heat transport in the North Atlantic is thought to be associated with the thermohaline circulation (that part of the ocean's circulation which is driven by fluxes of heat and freshwater through the ocean's surface).
		The existence of three equilibria of the North Atlantic conveyor is not in itself a new result (see refs., 2-3) but the beautiful illustration of the transition between these equilibria associated with small changes in the hydrological cycle is a novel result.

		When the North Atlantic Ocean is experiencing warmer anomalies and the South Atlantic Ocean cooler anomalies the AOTC is described as being in a stronger state.
		Sea surface temperature and salinity levels suggests that the AOTC was in a strong state for several decades prior to 1970, a weak state from 1970 through 1993 and only in recent years has returned to a strong state.
		In Florida a stronger conveyor means increased chances of severe hurricanes and wetter tropical season (June throuhh November) while a weaker conveyor means a decreased chances of severe hurricanes and a drier tropical season.

	U.S. News: A climate surprise may be brewing in the North Atlantic (4/1/02)
		The reason is 2,500 churning, intervening miles of radiator called the Atlantic Ocean, its warmth carried to Europe by prevailing winds.
		Nearly the whole North Atlantic from Canada to Scandinavia and the British Isles, to depths of more than a mile, has received a vast influx of fresh water since the 1960s, perhaps from rivers, rain, or melting ice.
		The North Atlantic is the headwaters of an interlinked system of currents sometimes called the oceanic conveyor belt, which ferries vast quantities of heat from the tropics to the poles.

	Conveyor Belt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The "conveyor belt" involves transport of warm ocean water from the Pacific through the Indian Ocean and into the Atlantic.
		In the north Atlantic, this warm water (now very saline due to evaporation during the journey), encounters cold water coming down from the north.
		The incredibly busy hurricane year in the Atlantic is consistent with that statement, as are recent Sahel rainfall seasons (1994 was the wettest year since 1964).

		The global conveyor belt thermohaline circulation is driven primarily by the formation and sinking of deep water (from around 1500m to the Antarctic bottom water overlying the bottom of the ocean) in the Norwegian Sea.
		The two counteracting forcings operating in the North Atlantic control the conveyor belt circulation: (1) the thermal forcing (high-latitude cooling and the low-latitude heating) which drives a polar southward flow; and (2) haline forcing (net high-latitude freshwater gain and low-latitude evaporation) which moves in the opposite direction.
		Periodic movement of excessive ice from the Arctic into the Greenland Sea appears to be responsible for the interdecadal variability of the conveyor belt.

		The Broecker [1987] and Gordon [1986] descriptions of the thermohaline circulation as a conveyor belt graphically emphasized the interconnections amongst the waters of the world's oceans.
		The thermohaline circulation in the Atlantic consists of two parts: 1) northward flow of warm water (the upper limb) (some of this water contributes to the production of new deep water in the high latitudes of the North Atlantic); and 2) southward export of newly formed deep water (Figure 1) (the lower limb).
		In winter the water column becomes unstable due to a combination of intensive cooling at the ocean surface from passage of winter storms, and northward transport of salty surface water from lower latitudes (both increase the density).

	FNF: THE GULF STREAM CONVEYOR BELT 2001-04-20
		If the North Atlantic Deep Water is to push its way southwards out of the Atlantic basin it needs to be denser than water in the south, near South Africa, where it joins the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, which circles the planet from west to east.
		Although this conveyor belt was almost as vigorous, it hardly warmed the northern Atlantic region, as its waters sank and returned south before releasing much heat to the atmosphere.
		It implies that swings in the conveyor belt arose only because of meltwater or iceberg flotillas, from the warming of the large amounts of land ice that had formed in the preceding glacial period.

	News: "The Day After Tomorrow"- rapid climate change: is it possible, causes it?
		At the end of the last glacial period (10,000 years ago), the Younger Dryas event was a very sharp transition around the North Atlantic from warm conditions at the end of the last glacial period back to cold conditions which lasted about 1,000 years before switching back to warm conditions.
		This may have caused the North Atlantic "overturning" to slow down, reducing the amount of heat transported toward the pole.
		The strength of the thermohaline circulation is strongly determined by the sinking of the waters associated with the Gulf Stream.

		This circulation is thought to be responsible for the large flow of upper ocean water from the tropical Pacific to the Indian Ocean through the Indonesian Archipelago.

		The variability in the strength of the conveyor belt will lead to climate change in Europe, and it could also influence in other areas of the global ocean.

		The term conveyor belt has been adopted to express the idea of the ocean-based elements of the climate system which transport heat.
		The global conveyor belt (known technically as the thermohaline circulation[?]) operates when the heat from the sun on the Atlantic Ocean is conveyed northward by currents, heating the north Atlantic.
		The cold water sinks to the bottom (forming North Atlantic Deep Water) and circulates to complete the conveyor belt.

		Writing in the science journal Nature, Schmittner said the steep drop in the plankton population was due to it becoming separated from deep water nutrient layers as the ocean current failed.
		To date much work has been done on the potential disruption of the Atlantic Conveyor as the climate warms by an estimated two degrees centigrade this century due to man-made greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide.
		Although the effect was most noticeable in the north Atlantic where even a partial weakening in the life-giving current caused a substantial drop in productivity, it also registered globally.

		This explains the higher surface salinities in the Atlantic and implies there is a net flow of fresher sea water from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
		The increasing salinity of the Atlantic due to the net evaporation must be relieved by a net outflow of salty water from that ocean.
		The thermohaline circulation therefore carries out cold, salt water from the deep layers of the Atlantic to the Pacific, keeping the latter cooler than it would otherwise be, and brings in warmer water in the shallow layers to the North Atlantic.
