The sinking of surface water and rise of bottom water in a lake or sea that results from changes in density due to changes in temperature and that commonly occurs in spring and fall wherever lakes are icebound in winter. 6, record 2, English, - overturn
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
It is due to the increase in density of water above and below 39.2°F (4°C, the temperature of minimum density). In the spring, as the surface of the water warms above the freezing point, the water increases in density, becomes heavier, and tends to sink, producing vertical currents, while in the fall, as the surface water becomes colder and therefore heavier, it also tends to sink. Wind may also create such vertical currents. 3, record 2, English, - overturn

Phénomène de circulation verticale qui se produit dans les grandes étendues d'eau, dû à une variation de la densité de l'eau au-dessus et au-dessous de 4 °C, température où la densité est maximale. 1, record 2, French, - renversement
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Tant que l'eau refroidie à la surface est plus dense que l'eau plus profonde, il y aura un mélange ascendant avec de l'eau plus chaude et la glace ne se formera pas, sauf dans des circonstances exceptionnelles. De même, la glace fond si le vent la pousse vers des eaux plus chaudes. La glace refroidit les eaux de surface. Ensuite, un renversement convectif dans la colonne d'eau ramène l'eau plus chaude en contact avec la glace, et celle-ci continue de fondre. 3, record 2, French, - renversement
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT

La circulation thermohaline joue un rôle déterminant pour ce qui est du transport thermique méridien dans l'océan Atlantique. Elle consiste en un brassage convectif des eaux océaniques à l'échelle du globe, provoqué par les différences de densité découlant des différences de température et de salinité. 9, record 2, French, - renversement
