Biogeochemical timescales of climate change onset and recovery in the North Atlantic interior under rapid atmospheric CO2 forcing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Anthropogenic climate change footprints in the ocean go beyond the mixed layer depth, with considerable impacts throughout mesopelagic and deep-ocean ecosystems. Yet, little is known about the timing of these environmental ... -
Decadal Changes in Ventilation and Anthropogenic Carbon in the Nordic Seas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)We evaluate the decadal evolution of ventilation and anthropogenic carbon (Cant) in the Nordic Seas between 1982 and the 2010s. Ventilation changes on decadal timescale are identified by evaluating decadal changes in mean ... -
FRIS Revisited in 2018: On the Circulation and Water Masses at the Filchner and Ronne Ice Shelves in the Southern Weddell Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf (FRIS) is characterized by moderate basal melt rates due to the near-freezing waters that dominate the wide southern Weddell Sea continental shelf. We revisited the region in austral summer ... -
Generation of the Internal Pycnocline in the Subpolar Southern Ocean by Wintertime Sea Ice Melting
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The ocean's internal pycnocline is a layer of elevated stratification that separates the well-ventilated upper ocean from the more slowly renewed deep ocean. Despite its pivotal role in organizing ocean circulation, the ... -
Sea Ice-Driven Variability in the Pacific Subantarctic Mode Water Formation Regions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Well-mixed mode waters that form in the north of the Southern Ocean are particularly important to the ocean absorption of heat and CO2 from the atmosphere. Two types of mode water form in the Pacific sector of the Southern ... -
Using Shelf-Edge Transport Composition and Sensitivity Experiments to Understand Processes Driving Sea Level on the Northwest European Shelf
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Variability in ocean currents, temperature and salinity drive dynamic sea level (DSL) variability on the Northwest European Shelf (NWES). It is dominated by mass variations, with steric signals relatively small. A mechanistic ... -
Where and How the East Madagascar Current Retroflection Originates?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The East Madagascar Current (EMC) is one of the western boundary currents of the South Indian Ocean. As such, it plays an important role in the climate system by transporting water and heat toward the pole and recirculating ...
