Buoyancy-driven Overturning

Buoyancy-Driven Overturning is a theoretical construct within physical oceanography that represents the large-scale meridional circulation of seawater driven primarily by differences in water density, where variations in temperature and salinity induce vertical motions that sustain a overturning flow distinct from wind-driven or eddy-mediated circulations.
