q |
If the warming is slow
|
|
|
The salinity
is high enough to still produce a
thermohaline
|
|
|
|
circulation
|
|
|
è |
The circulation will transfer the heat to deep ocean
|
|
|
è |
The warming in the atmosphere will be deferred.
|
|
|
q |
If the
warming is fast
|
|
|
Surface ocean becomes so
warm (low water density)
|
|
|
è |
No more thermohalione circulation
|
|
|
è |
The rate of global warming in the atmosphere will
increase.
