Thermohaline circulation is a part of the large-scale ocean circulation that is driven by global density gradients created by heat and fresh water fluxes. It is also known as the ocean conveyor belt, great ocean conveyor or the global conveyor belt. It supplies heat to the polar regions and regulates the amount of ice in those regions.
In 2005, the net flow of the Northern Gulf Stream had decreased by 30% since 1957.
