On the north Atlantic circulation

WJ Schmitz Jr, MS McCartney - Reviews of Geophysics, 1993 - Wiley Online Library
A new, speculative, and, we hope, provocative summary of the North Atlantic circulation is
described, including both horizontal currents (wind‐driven) and the primarily (thermohaline) …

Measuring the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation at 26 N

GD McCarthy, DA Smeed, WE Johns… - Progress in …, 2015 - Elsevier
Abstract The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) plays a key role in the

Interocean exchange of thermocline water

AL Gordon - Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 1986 - Wiley Online Library
Formation of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) represents a transfer of upper layer water to
abyssal depths at a rate of 15 to 20× 106 m3/s. NADW spreads throughout the Atlantic …

Global patterns of marine nitrogen fixation and denitrification

N Gruber, JL Sarmiento - Global biogeochemical cycles, 1997 - Wiley Online Library
