Dynamics of Abyssal Ocean Currents - English
URL: http://www.pims.math.ca/industrial/2002/iampims_lect/swaters/

The ocean is the regulator of Earth's climate. The world's oceans store an enormous quantity of heat, which is redistributed throughout the world via the currents. Because the density of water is about a thousand times larger than the density of air, the ocean has a substantial inertia associated with it compared to the atmosphere. This implies that it takes an enormous quantity of energy to change an existing ocean circulatory pattern compared to the atmospheric winds. One can think of the ocean as the "memory" and "integrator" of past and evolving climate states.

Животный мир абиссаля (бентос) существует за счет органических веществ, поступающих из поверхностных слоев океана в виде детрита, фекалий и остатков отмирающих животных (т. н. дождь трупов), а вблизи континентального склона также за счет сноса растительных и животных остатков с богатых жизнью мелководий.

Абиссальная зона, зона наибольших морских глубин (более 2 км). Области дна океана с глубинами свыше 6 км обычно выделяются как ультраабиссальные. Рельеф представлен крупными океаническими котловинами, подводными хребтами и плато. Воды характеризуются относительно слабой подвижностью, постоянно низкой температурой (1-2?C, в полярных областях ниже 0?C), постоянной солёностью (34,7*-34,9*), постоянной плотностью; в воде полностью отсутствует солнечный свет.
