The Stommel–Arons model of the abyssal circulation supposes that deep water is supplied by convection at a few high-latitude sources, that it returns to the upper ocean by a slow, uniform upwelling through the base of the thermocline, balanced by downward mixing of heat, and that the interior flow is geostrophic and conserves potential vorticity. The circulation is closed by deep western boundary currents.
