Thermohaline Circulation & named local currents

Portions of the the THC are named as: Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC), Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), Gulf Stream, Labrador Current, Brazil Current, Peru (Humboldt) Current, Kuroshio Current, East Australian Current, Agulhas Current, etc,
