On the Importance of Surface Forcing in Conceptual Models of the Deep Ocean
In the major ocean basins, diapycnal mixing upwells dense Antarctic Bottom Water, which returns southward and closes the deepest cell of the meridional overturning circulation (MOC). This cell ventilates the deep ocean and regulates the partitioning of CO[subscript 2] between the atmosphere and the...
