The ocean's thermohaline circulation has long been recognized as potentially unstable and has consequently been invoked as a potential cause of abrupt climate change on all timescales of decades and longer. However, fundamental aspects of thermohaline circulation changes remain poorly understood.
海洋的热盐环流长期以来被认为可能不稳定,因此被视为几十年及更长时间尺度上突然气候变化的一个潜在原因。然而,热盐环流变化的基本方面仍知之甚少。
