Ocean Currents and Hurricanes

Global warming and melting ice caps affect the formation of hurricanes and also change ocean currents. These currents are great heat conveyors and cause interactions between oceanic and atmospheric processes. Once these aerodynamic and hydrodynamic processes have started, their flywheel effect (inertia) makes it very hard to stop or reverse them. 

Three forces combine to drive the GHCB. The first is the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the rotation of the globe and results in a faster movement of the ocean s surface near the equator. The second is the level of the Pacific

which is slightly higher than that of the Atlantic Ocean. The third driving force is the difference between the salinity and the temperature of the waters near the equator and near Greenland in the north.
