The water mass transformation (WMT) framework weaves together circulation,
thermodynamics, and biogeochemistry into a description of the ocean that complements …

Upwelling of northern deep waters in the Southern Ocean is fundamentally important for the
closure of the global meridional overturning circulation and delivers carbon and nutrient‐rich …

Both observations and ocean reanalyses show a pronounced seasonality in the strength of
the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (MOC) within the eastern North Atlantic …

Abstract The Northwestern Mediterranean (NWMed) Sea includes one of the best observed
ocean deep convection sites in the World. An observing system simulation experiment …

Water mass transformation quantifies transport of matter between different density classes of
the World Ocean. We present the first observationally based quantification of transformation …

The ocean carbon sink plays a critical role in climate, absorbing anthropogenic carbon from
the atmosphere and mitigating climate change. The sink shows significant variability on …

Here, we introduce the Spiralling Inverse Method (SIM) that provides estimates of the small-
scale and mesoscale mixing strength. The SIM uses a vertical integral over a balance …

The water mass produced during wintertime convection in the Labrador Sea (ie the
Labrador Sea Water or LSW) is characterized by distinct thermohaline properties. It has …
