At mid-latitudes, the oceanic vertical structure of density is characterized by a permanent highly stratified layer: the pycnocline. The pycnocline is the transition layer between surface water masses ventilated every winter when penetrated locally by the mixed layer and deeper water masses which have been ventilated at high latitudes and circulate equatorward. The pycnocline thus reflects a large scale balance between the penetration of local air-sea interactions and the re-emergence of remote ones. The overall question we want to address is whether and to which extent the variability of the pycnocline properties (depth, thickness and thermohaline characteristics) are influenced by those of air-sea interactions. To this end, we first developed a new... |

The northeast Atlantic is a key horizontal and vertical crossroads region for the meridional overturning circulation, but basic nutrient and oxygen fluxes are still poorly constrained by observations in the region. A surface to bottom northeast Atlantic Ocean budget for mass, nutrients (nitrate and phosphate) and oxygen is determined using an optimization method based on three surveys of the OVIDE transect (from Greenland to Portugal) completed with the World Ocean Atlas 2009. Budgets are derived for two communicating boxes representing the northeastern European basin (NEEB) and the Irminger Sea. For the NEEB (Irminger) box, it is found that 30% of the mass import (export) across the OVIDE section reach (originate from) the Nordic Seas, while 70% are... |
