▪ Abstract The coexistence in the deep ocean of a finite, stable stratification, a strong
meridional overturning circulation, and mesoscale eddies raises complex questions …

Because of its relevance for the global climate the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation
(AMOC) has been a major research focus for many years. Yet the question of which physical …

The atmosphere and ocean are two of the most important components of the climate system,
and fluid dynamics is central to our understanding of both. This book provides a unified and …

We review teleconnections within the atmosphere and ocean, their dynamics and their role
in coupled climate variability. We concentrate on teleconnections in the latitudinal direction …

Meridional overturning circulation (MOC) in the North Atlantic. This figure shows volume
fluxes in units of 106 m3/s, obtained by integrating zonally across the basin in a general …

Abstract The Southern Ocean serves as the primary gateway through which the
intermediate, deep, and bottom waters of the ocean interact with the surface ocean (and thus …

Differential heating along one horizontal boundary of a fluid-filled volume establishes an
overturning circulation (horizontal convection) in the volume. The governing dynamics in this …

Ocean mixing is thought to control the climatically important oceanic overturning circulation.
Here we argue the marine biosphere, by a mechanism like the bioturbation occurring in …

The ocean's role in climate manifests itself through its high heat capacity, its own rich
internal dynamics and its ability to transport vast quantities of heat and freshwater. Of …
