Seasonal and regional variations of sinking in the subpolar North Atlantic from a high-resolution ocean model

<p>Previous studies have indicated that most of the net sinking associated with the downward branch of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) must occur near the subpolar North Atlantic boundaries. In this work we have used monthly mean fields of a high-resolution ocean model (...
