The role of mixing in the large-scale ocean circulation
Irreversible mixing of tracers and momentum in the ocean occurs via diffusion and friction at
the scale of molecules. That such molecular processes profoundly influence basin-scale …

The decrease in ocean heat transport in response to global warming
JV Mecking, SS Drijfhout - Nature Climate Change, 2023 - nature.com
The ocean is taking up additional heat but how this affects ocean circulation and heat
transport is unclear. Here, using coupled model intercomparison project phase 5/6 …

Drivers and distribution of global ocean heat uptake over the last half century
Since the 1970s, the ocean has absorbed almost all of the additional energy in the Earth
system due to greenhouse warming. However, sparse observations limit our knowledge of …
