Microstructure measurements along a quasi-meridional transect in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean
[1] This study presents vertical profiles of turbulence parameters obtained in the upper 100 m of the northeastern Atlantic Ocean along a transect from tropical permanently stratified waters to subpolar seasonally stratified waters in July–August 2009. The focus is to fully characterize the vertical mixing along this transect for further studies related to phytoplankton and nutrient distributio...
متن کاملIdentifying the processes controlling the distribution of H2O2 in surface waters along a meridional transect in the eastern Atlantic
[1] Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an important oxidant for many bio-relevant trace metals and organic compounds and has potential as a tracer for mixing in near surface waters. In this study we combine H2O2 and bio-optical measurements with satellite data for a meridional transect from 46 N to 26 S in the eastern Atlantic in order to determine the key processes affecting its distribution. Surface...
متن کاملAtlantic Dominance of the Meridional Overturning Circulation
North Atlantic (NA) deep-water formation and the resulting Atlantic meridional overturning cell is generally regarded as the primary feature of the global overturning circulation and is believed to be a result of the geometry of the continents. Here, instead, the overturning is viewed as a global energy–driven system and the robustness of NA dominance is investigated within this framework. Usin...
متن کاملChanges in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
Introduction: the concept of the MOC Climate models project a slow down of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) in the twenty-first century. This slow down is expected to affect climate over Europe. In particular, it damps the temperature rise due to the emission of greenhouse gases. The MOC is associated with the thermohaline circulation (ThC), which is the large-scale ocean c...
متن کاملMountain ranges favour vigorous Atlantic meridional overturning
[1] We use a global Ocean-Atmosphere General Circulation Model (OAGCM) to show that the major mountain ranges of the world have a significant role in maintenance of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). A simulation with mountains has a maximum AMOC of 18 Sv (1 Sv = 10 m s ) compared with 0 Sv for a simulation without mountains. Atlantic heat transport at 25°N is 1.1 PW with m...
