About this ebook
""Climate By Currents"" explores the vital role
of ocean currents in shaping global climate patterns and maintaining weather stability.
These oceanic flows act as a global conveyor belt, redistributing heat from the equator to the poles through thermohaline circulation, driven by differences in water density and salinity gradients.
Understanding these dynamics is crucial, as they underpin our comprehension of climate change and the delicate balance of marine ecosystems.
One key aspect of this global heat distribution is its geographic variations, where different ocean regions uniquely contribute to regional climate variations.

The book begins by introducing core concepts like ocean density and the Coriolis effect before progressing through major ocean currents, their formation, and heat transport significance.
It then focuses on climate modeling and predictions, examining how currents respond to changing climate conditions using computer simulations.
The final section investigates the impact of these changes on coastal communities, offering insights relevant to coastal management and sustainable resource use.
This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of how ocean currents are active agents of climate regulation.
