متن کاملAttribution of Deep Western Boundary Current variability at 26.51N
Observed variations in the Deep Western Boundary Current (DWBC) at 26.51N, which carries the deep limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC), have been shown to greatly exceed in magnitude the variations of the overall basin-wide MOC, with strong variability at a range of time scales from weeks to multiple-months. Attribution of these strong DWBC variations will be crucial fo...
متن کاملContrasting trends in North Atlantic deep-water formation in the Labrador Sea and Nordic Seas during the Holocene
[1] The Holocene North Atlantic deep-water formation is studied in a 9,000-year long simulation with a coupled climate model of intermediate complexity, forced by changes in orbital forcing and atmospheric trace gas concentrations. During the experiment, deep-water formation in the Nordic Seas is reduced due to an enhanced influx of sea ice from the Central Arctic, decreasing both surface salin...
متن کاملTrophodynamics of the deep-water suprabenthic mysid Boreomysis arctica in the Catalan Sea (western Mediterranean)
Gut-evacuation rate (R), and daily ration (DR) were studied in the bathyal mysid Boreomysis arctica, a dominant species from the suprabenthic assemblage of the Catalan Sea, during a ca 72 h day-night sampling cycle (Cruise BT1 of March 1994) at depths from 638 to 1256 m. Although the density of B. arctica was higher during daytime in the water column between 0.1 and1.5 m above the sea floor, no...
متن کاملVariability in Deep Western Boundary Current transports: Preliminary results from 26.5 N in the Atlantic
[1] Transport fluctuations of the deep limb of the Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) near the western boundary are presented from a line of inverted echo sounders, bottom pressure sensors, and a deep current meter east of Abaco Island, Bahamas, at 26.5 N from September 2004 through September 2005. The mean southward flow between 800 dbar and 4800 dbar was 39 10m s , with a northward reci...
