Influence of Enhanced Abyssal Diapycnal Mixing on Stratification and the Ocean Overturning Circulation
The meridional overturning circulation (MOC) is composed of interconnected overturning cells that transport cold dense abyssal waters formed at high latitudes back to the surface. Turbulent diapycnal mixing plays a primary role in setting the rate and patterns of the various overturning cells that c...
