Lagrangian analysis is a powerful way to analyse the output of ocean circulation models and
other ocean velocity data such as from altimetry. In the Lagrangian approach, large sets of …

We review the relationship between tracer distributions and transport timescales in the
stratosphere and discuss the use of timescales to evaluate and constrain theories and …

Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) minerals secreted by marine organisms are abundant in the
ocean. These particles settle and the majority dissolves in deeper waters or at the seafloor …

Transport processes and pathways through many hydrodynamic systems vary over time,
often driven by variations in total water storage. This paper develops a very general …

Within the eastern tropical oceans of the Atlantic and Pacific basin vast oxygen minimum
zones (OMZ) exist in the depth range between 100 and 900m. Minimum oxygen values are …

Abstract The Southern Ocean provides dominant contributions to global ocean heat and
carbon uptake, which is widely interpreted as resulting from its unique upwelling and …

A data-constrained ocean circulation model is used to characterize the distribution of water
masses and their ages in the global ocean. The model is constrained by the time-averaged …

Ocean ventilation is the transfer of tracers and young water from the surface down into the
ocean interior. The tracers that can be transported to depth include anthropogenic heat and …

Ocean observations are analysed in the framework of Collaborative Research Center 754
(SFB 754)" Climate-Biogeochemistry Interactions in the Tropical Ocean" to study (1) the …

The distribution of anthropogenic carbon (Cant) in the oceans is estimated using the transit
time distribution (TTD) method applied to global measurements of chlorofluorocarbon-12 …
