Rapid cross-density ocean mixing at mid-depths in the Drake Passage measured by tracer release

An ocean tracer release in the Drake Passage, between South America and Antarctica, shows that its rough bottom topography causes greatly increased internal mixing, by a factor of about 20 at depths of around 1,500 metres.

Observations of diapycnal upwelling within a sloping submarine canyon

A dye-release experiment within a sloping submarine canyon provides direct evidence that vigorous mixing at topographic features, such as canyons, leads to rapid diapycnal upwelling of deep water.

Circulation-driven variability of Atlantic anthropogenic carbon transports and uptake

Slowdown of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation from 2004 to 2012 led to a decrease in its relative contribution to North Atlantic carbon accumulation, while the supply from air–sea fluxes increased, according to an analysis of ocean mooring circulation observations.

The redistribution of anthropogenic excess heat is a key driver of warming in the North Atlantic

The deep layers of the North Atlantic Ocean are expected to warm in the coming decades as excess heat taken up at the ocean surface is redistributed, suggests a historical reconstruction of full-depth ocean heat content.
