- Polar ocean currents are influenced by several factors123:
- Thermohaline circulation begins in the Earth's polar regions. Cold seawater gets saltier, increases in density, and sinks, driving ocean currents1.
- The global conveyor belt involves warm surface currents carrying less dense water away from the Equator toward the poles, and cold deep ocean currents carrying denser water away from the poles toward the Equator2.
- Melting ice in the Arctic Ocean adds freshwater, making the seawater less dense and affecting currents in the North Atlantic3.

The surrounding seawater gets saltier, increases in density and sinks. Winds drive ocean currents in the upper 100 meters of the ocean’s surface. However, ocean currents also flow thousands of meters below the surface.oceanservice.noaa.gov/education/tutorial_currents/…The global conveyor belt’s circulation is the result of two simultaneous processes: warm surface currents carrying less dense water away from the Equator toward the poles, and cold deep ocean currents carrying denser water away from the poles toward the Equator.www.nationalgeographic.org/media/ocean-current…The melting ice causes freshwater to be added to the seawater in the Arctic Ocean which flows into the North Atlantic. The added freshwater makes the seawater less dense. This has caused the North Atlantic to become fresher over the past several decades and has caused the currents to slow.scied.ucar.edu/learning-zone/climate-change-impa… - People also ask
