Atlantic-Pacific Asymmetry in Deep Water Formation [PDF]

Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2018
While the Atlantic Ocean is ventilated by high-latitude deep water formation and exhibits a pole-to-pole overturning circulation, the Pacific Ocean does not. This asymmetric global overturning pattern has persisted for the past 2–3 million years, with evidence for different ventilation modes in the deeper past.

Transport Structure of the South Atlantic Ocean Derived From a High-Resolution Numerical Model and Observations

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The South Atlantic Ocean plays an important role in the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC), connecting it to the Indian and Pacific Oceans as part of the global overturning circulation system. Yet, there are still open questions regarding

Is There the Equatorial Water Mass in the Atlantic Ocean?

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Using temperature and salinity profiles from the Argo data repository, a detailed volumetric temperature‐salinity diagram is compiled for the upper 2,000 m layer of the Atlantic Ocean.

A reconstruction of warm-water inflow to Upernavik Isstrøm since 1925 CE and its relation to glacier retreat [PDF]

Climate of the Past, 2019
The mass loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet has increased over the past 2 decades. Marine-terminating glaciers contribute significantly to this mass loss due to increased melting and ice discharge. Periods of rapid retreat of these tidewater glaciers have

Reconstruction of Atlantic water variability during the Holocene in the western Barents Sea [PDF]

Climate of the Past, 2014
The gravity core JM09-KA11-GC from 345 m water depth on the western Barents Sea margin was investigated for down-core distribution patterns of benthic Foraminifera, stable isotopes, and sedimentological parameters in order to reconstruct the flow of ...

Arctic and Atlantic Waters in the Norwegian Basin, Between Year Variability and Potential Ecosystem Implications

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The ocean climate of the southern Norwegian Sea - the Norwegian Basin - is largely set by the relative amount of Atlantic Water in the eastern and Arctic Water in the western region.

Water mass distribution in Fram Strait and over the Yermak Plateau in summer 1997 [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2000
The water mass distribution in northern Fram Strait and over the Yermak Plateau in summer 1997 is described using CTD data from two cruises in the area. The West Spitsbergen Current was found to split, one part recirculated towards the west, while the

Transition Paths of North Atlantic Deep Water

Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 2022
Abstract Recently introduced in oceanography to interpret the near-surface circulation, transition path theory (TPT) is a methodology that rigorously characterizes ensembles of trajectory pieces flowing out from a source last and into a target next, i.e., those that most productively contribute to transport. Here we use TPT to frame, in a statistically

Change of heat advection to the Barents sea

Российская Арктика, 2019
At the present day flux of warm Atlantic waters into the Barents Sea influences on the change in the area of its ice cover. This paper estimates and analyzes the advective heat flux coming through a meridional section along 16.5° Еto the basin of the ...
