   ocean circulation study

   Scientists in Scotland are using robotic subsea gliders to check ocean   
   currents for signs of climate collapse.   
      
   They are monitoring the "conveyor belt" which carries warm and cool   
   water between the Caribbean and the Arctic.   
      
   Scientists fear a weakening of the system would have a devastating   
   effect across large parts of the planet.   
      
   The Scottish Association for Marine Science (Sams) at Oban is deploying   
   the robots on autonomous missions between the UK and Iceland over five   
   months.   
      
   Atlantic circulation is important for distributing tropical heat across   
   the world and keeps northern Europe at a more temperate climate than   
   other locations on the same latitude.
