Flow Pathways of Abyssal Water in the Yap Trench and Adjacent Channels and Basins

Abyssal flow pathways in the Yap Trench and adjacent regions were investigated by computing geostrophic flows and analyzing water properties. Using boundary values of potential temperature, salinity, oxygen, and silicate, the upper and lower Circumpolar Deep Waters (UCPW, LCPW) were identified as th...
