Arus termohalin

Sirkulasi termohalin adalah sebuah bagian dari sirkulasi samudera berskala besar yang didorong oleh gradien kepadatan global yang dihasilkan oleh panas permukaan dan fluks air tawar.^[1]^[2] Sebutan termohalin berasal dari kata thermo- yang merujuk kepada temperatur dan -haline yang merujuk kepada kandungan garam, faktor-faktor yang sama-sama menentukan kepadatan air laut.
