Which mechanism alters regional rainfall patterns associated with changes deep-ocean thermohaline circulation?

💡 Explanation

When thermohaline circulation weakens, ocean stratification increases because density differences reduce mixing, impacting heat distribution and generating sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies that change evaporation rates and atmospheric circulation patterns. Therefore SST anomalies result, rather than humidity, albedo shifts or heat flux that depend upon different triggers..
