Mixing variability in the Southern Ocean
(American Meteorological Society, 2015-04)A key remaining challenge in oceanography is the understanding and parameterization of small-scale mixing. Evidence suggests that topographic features play a significant role in enhancing mixing in the Southern Ocean. This ... -
Oceanic fluxes of mass, heat, and freshwater : a global estimate and perspective
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1995-08)Data from fifteen globally distributed, modern, high resolution, hydrographic oceanic transects are combined in an inverse calculation using large scale box models. The models provide estimates of the global meridional ...
