Significance of Diapycnal Mixing Within the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation

Significance of Diapycnal Mixing Within the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation

Abstract Diapycnal mixing shapes the distribution of climatically important tracers, such as heat and carbon, as these are carried by dense water masses in the ocean interior. Here, we analyze a suite of observation‐based estimates of diapycnal mixing to assess its role within the Atlantic Meridiona...
