Schematic diagram of various types of circulation in seas adjacent to the oceans. (a) Vertically separated inflow and outflow, typified by the Mediterranean and Red Seas (surface inflow and subsurface outflow with transformation within the sea), Baltic Sea and Hudson Bay (subsurface inflow and surface outflow, with transformation within the sea), and Black Sea (subsurface inflow and surface ouflow, with no deep ventilation within the sea). (b) Horizontally separated inflow and outflow, typified by the Arctic Ocean and Caribbean Sea and also by the North Pacific marginal seas (surface inflow and surface outflow, usually through a different strait from the inflow), and by the Nordic Seas, Labrador Sea/Baffin Bay, and also the Persian Gulf (surface inflow and both surface and subsurface outflow).
