Cessation of deep convection in the open Southern Ocean under anthropogenic climate change
In 1974, newly available satellite observations unveiled the presence of a giant ice-free
area, or polynya, within the Antarctic ice pack of the Weddell Sea, which persisted during the …

Slantwise convection in the Irminger Sea
Abstract The subpolar North Atlantic is a site of significant carbon dioxide, oxygen, and heat
exchange with the atmosphere. This exchange, which regulates transient climate change …

Boundary layer clouds and convection over subtropical oceans in our current and in a warmer climate
L Nuijens, AP Siebesma - Current Climate Change Reports, 2019 - Springer
Abstract Purpose of Review We review our understanding of mechanisms underlying the
response of (sub) tropical clouds to global warming, highlight mechanisms that challenge …

Evaporation induced convection enhances mixing in the upper ocean
The upper ocean surface layer is directly affected by the air-sea fluxes. The diurnal
variations in these fluxes also cause the upper ocean mixed layer turbulence and mixing to …

Deep convection in the Irminger Sea observed with a dense mooring array
MF de Jong, M Oltmanns, J Karstensen, L de Steur - Oceanography, 2018 - JSTOR
Deep convection is a key process in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, but
because it acts at small scales, it remains poorly resolved by climate models. The …
