Paleoceanography of the Atlantic‐Mediterranean exchange: Overview and first quantitative assessment of climatic forcing
The Mediterranean Sea provides a major route for heat and freshwater loss from the North
Atlantic and thus is an important cause of the high density of Atlantic waters. In addition to …
