Thesis
A turbulent story: role of diapycnal mixing in the ocean overturning circulation and tracer distribution
- Abstract:
-
Natural and anthropogenic heat and carbon, as well as other climatically and biologically important tracers, enter the deep global overturning circulation mainly during the formation of dense waters at the high latitudes around Antarctica and in the North Atlantic. Through the transport, sequestration and upwelling of tracers, the global overturning circulation contributes to the regulation and variability of our climate system.
This thesis investigates the role of diapycnal (cross...
