Sensitivity of North Atlantic subpolar gyre and overturning to stratification-dependent mixing: response to global warming
We use a reduced complexity climate model with a three-dimensional ocean component and realistic topography to investigate the effect of stratificationdependent mixing on the sensitivity of the North Atlantic subpolar gyre (SPG), and the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC), to idealized CO2 increase and peaking scenarios. The vertical diffusivity of the ocean interior is paramete...

متن کاملEddy-driven stratification initiates North Atlantic spring phytoplankton blooms.
Springtime phytoplankton blooms photosynthetically fix carbon and export it from the surface ocean at globally important rates. These blooms are triggered by increased light exposure of the phytoplankton due to both seasonal light increase and the development of a near-surface vertical density gradient (stratification) that inhibits vertical mixing of the phytoplankton. Classically and in curre...
متن کاملConvergence of atmospheric and North Atlantic carbon dioxide trends on multidecadal timescales
Oceanic uptake of carbon dioxide substantially reduces the rate at which anthropogenic carbon accumulates in the atmosphere1, slowing global climate change. Some studies suggest that the rate at which the oceans take up carbon has significantly decreased in recent years2–8. Others suggest that decadal variability confounds the detection of long-term trends9–11. Here, we examine trends in the pa...
متن کاملLate Maastrichtian pterosaurs from North Africa and mass extinction of Pterosauria at the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary
Pterosaurs were the first vertebrates to evolve powered flight and the largest animals to ever take wing. The pterosaurs persisted for over 150 million years before disappearing at the end of the Cretaceous, but the patterns of and processes driving their extinction remain unclear. Only a single family, Azhdarchidae, is definitively known from the late Maastrichtian, suggesting a gradual declin...
