Abstract: Distributions of temperature (T) and salinity (S) and their relationship in the oceans are the result of a balance between T?S variability generated at the surface by air?sea fluxes and its removal by molecular dissipation. ...

Abstract: he meridional overturning circulation (MOC) is composed of interconnected overturning cells that transport cold dense abyssal waters formed at high latitudes back to the surface. Turbulent diapycnal mixing plays a primary ...

Abstract: s part of the Diapycnal and Isopycnal Mixing Experiment in the Southern Ocean (DIMES), 210 subsurface floats were deployed west of the Drake Passage on two targeted density surfaces. Absolute (single particle) diffusivities ...

Abstract: ubmesoscale stirring contributes to the cascade of tracer variance from large to small scales. Multiple nested surveys in the summer Sargasso Sea with tow-yo and autonomous platforms captured submesoscale water-mass ...

Abstract: A major oceanographic field experiment is described, which is designed to observe, quantify, and understand the creation and dispersal of weakly stratified fluid known as ?mode water? in the region of the Gulf Stream. ...
