Early Detection of Changes in the North Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation: Implications for the Design of Ocean Observation Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Many climate models predict that anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions may cause a threshold response of the North Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (MOC). These model predictions are, however, uncertain. Reducing ...
Role of the Seasonal Cycle in the Subduction Rates of Upper–Southern Ocean Waters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: kinematic approach is used to diagnose the subduction rates of upper?Southern Ocean waters across seasonally migrating density outcrops at the base of the mixed layer. From an Eulerian viewpoint, the term representing the ...
The North Pacific Oxygen Uptake Rates over the Past Half Century
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he transport of dissolved oxygen (O2) from the surface ocean into the interior is a critical process sustaining aerobic life in mesopelagic ecosystems, but its rates and sensitivity to climate variations are poorly understood. ...
