Seismic stratigraphy and history of deep circulation and sediment drift development in Baffin Bay and the Labrador Sea [PDF]
Drilling results and seismic-reflection records at and across Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Sites 645 (western Baffin Bay), 646, and 647 (Labrador Sea) provide important constraints on the history of deep-water circulation and sedimentation in response to

Incorporating deep-ocean biodiversity into climate change policy - policy brief [PDF]
Key Messages: ● Deep-ocean biodiversity underpins climate stability bysequestering carbon and regulating the global carbon cycle.● Human disturbance of deep-ocean biodiversity diminishesthe ocean’s capacity to remove carbon from the atmosphere.● It is ...

Greenhouse Warming Weakens the Seasonal Cycle of the Eastern Boundary Upwelling
The response of upwelling in the eastern boundary upwelling systems (EBUSs) to anthropogenic climate change has attracted much scientific attention due to its core role in nourishing marine ecosystems.

Climate change and ocean acidification impacts on lower trophic levels and the export of organic carbon to the deep ocean [PDF]
Most future projections forecast significant and ongoing climate change during the 21st century, but with the severity of impacts dependent on efforts to restrain or reorganise human activity to limit carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

Observation of near-inertial waves in the wake of four typhoons in the northern South China Sea
Based on the velocity and temperature data recorded by two acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) at a mooring system deployed in the northern South China Sea (SCS), this study investigates the characteristics of near-inertial waves (NIWs) induced by

Deep boundary current disintegration in Drake Passage [PDF]
The fate of a deep boundary current that originates in the Southeast Pacific and flows southward along the continental slope of South America is elucidated. The current transports poorly ventilated water of low salinity (a type of Pacific Deep Water; PDW)

Horizontal Stratification during Deep Convection in the Labrador Sea [PDF]
Deep convection—the process by which surface waters are mixed down to 1000 m or deeper—forms the primary downwelling of the meridional overturning circulation in the Northern Hemisphere.

Deep Learning Improves Reconstruction of Ocean Vertical Velocity
Ocean vertical velocity (w) plays a key role in regulating the exchanges of mass, heat and nutrients between the surface and deep ocean. However, direct observation remains difficult due to its small magnitude and large spatiotemporal variability ...
