Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to review and examine work on nonlinear energy stability theory applied to models for circulation within the oceans. This is a highly applicable subject and one which may lead to bounds which could be of use in environmental engineering. Since it is believed thermohaline circulation in the ocean may have an effect on climate change and even global warming, cf. (Clark et al., 2002), any useful thresholds energy stability bounds can yield will be welcome.
