Climate-Relevant Ocean Transport Measurements in the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans
Mixing and transformation in a deep western boundary current: A case study
Water-mass transformation by turbulent mixing is a key part of the deep-ocean overturning, as it drives the upwelling of dense waters …
Pending recovery in the strength of the meridional overturning circulation at 26°N
The strength of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) at 26∘ N has now been continuously measured by the RAPID array …
Phased response of the subpolar Southern Ocean to changes in circumpolar winds
The response of the subpolar Southern Ocean (sSO) to wind forcing is assessed using satellite radar altimetry. sSO sea level exhibits a …
Model derived uncertainties in deep ocean temperature trends between 1990--2010
In recent decades, deep (below 2,000 m) ocean temperature trends have been measured when scientific research vessels repeat the same …
Structure and variability of the Antilles Current at 26.5°N
Rapid mixing and exchange of deep-ocean waters in an abyssal boundary current
The overturning circulation of the global ocean is regulated by deep-ocean mixing, which transforms cold waters sinking at high …
OceanObs19: OceanGliders: a component of the integrated GOOS
The OceanGliders program started in 2016 to support active coordination and enhancement of global glider activity. OceanGliders …
Loop Current variability as trigger of coherent Gulf Stream transport anomalies
Estimating the Freshwater Flux from the Greenland Ice Sheet Workshop Report, American Geophysical Union, 2018

The Ross Gyre is one of the main current systems of the Southern Ocean and conveys heat toward the cold continental shelves of the …
The North Atlantic Ocean is in a state of reduced overturning
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is responsible for a variable and climatically important northward transport of …
The Accuracy of Estimates of the Overturning Circulation from Basin Wide Mooring Arrays
Previous modeling and observational studies have established that it is possible to accurately monitor the Atlantic Meridional …
Drivers of exceptionally cold North Atlantic Ocean temperatures and their link to the 2015 European heat wave
The North Atlantic and Europe experienced two extreme climate events in 2015: exceptionally cold ocean surface temperatures and a …
Major Variations in Sub-Tropical North Atlantic Heat Transport at Short (5 day) Timescales and their Causes
Variability in the North Atlantic ocean heat transport at 26.5°N on short (5 day) timescales is identified and contrasted with …
Compensation between meridional flow components of the Atlantic MOC at 26°N
From ten years of observations of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (MOC) at 26° N (2004–2014), we revisit the question …
