Halothermal circulation refers to the movement of water masses in oceans or large bodies of water that is driven by variations in temperature (thermal) and salinity (haline) — a process often described in the context of thermohaline circulation. This type of circulation influences global climate, ocean stratification, and the distribution of marine life. In halothermal circulation, the interaction between temperature and salinity affects water density, with denser water sinking and less dense water rising, creating a circulation pattern.
