Once the Gulf Stream reaches the far north, it cools and loses some of its heat, causing the water to become denser and sink. This process contributes to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which plays a crucial role in global climate regulation. The cooler, denser water then flows southward at depth, continuing the oceanic conveyor belt that redistributes heat around the planet. This system significantly influences weather patterns and marine ecosystems in both the North Atlantic and beyond.
