Mechanisms for enhanced turbulence in the Drake Passage region of the Southern Ocean
… values found in northern Drake Passage where water mass variability is the most pronounced. Double diffusive processes and turbulence both contribute to buoyancy flux, elevating the effective mixing efficiency above the canonical value of 0.2 in the upper 1km. Despite the prevalence of …

Antarctic climate: ocean fluxes and variability
… important route for the return flow of deep water subducted in the North Atlantic.<br/>The World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) provided an unprecedented picture<br/>of the state of the world’s oceans and set new standards for high quality in-situ<br/>hydrographic data. This study …

Tunnels in the ocean: formation and propagation of interannual water mass anomalies in global subtropical cells
Subtropical cells connect subducting subtropical waters to upwelling sites along the equator. Water mass properties (e.g. salinity, temperature) are set at the surface and subducted along ventilated pathways that flow toward upwelling sites in the tropics. This tight link between the subtropics and …
