Journal ArticleDOI
Global Abyssal Mixing Inferred from Lowered ADCP Shear and CTD Strain Profiles
TL;DR: In this paper, internal wave-wave interaction theories and observations support a parameterization for the turbulent dissipation rate e and eddy diffusivity K that depends on internal wave shear and strain variances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in ocean heat, carbon content, and ventilation : a review of the first decade of GO-SHIP Global Repeat Hydrography
Lynne D. Talley,Richard A. Feely,Bernadette M. Sloyan,Rik Wanninkhof,Molly O. Baringer,John L. Bullister,Craig A. Carlson,Scott C. Doney,Rana A. Fine,Eric Firing,Nicolas Gruber,Dennis A.

TL;DR: Ship-based measurements show that vertical diffusivity increases from a minimum in the thermocline to a maximum within the bottom 1,500 m, shifting the physical paradigm of the ocean's overturning circulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Managing mining of the deep seabed

TL;DR: The International Seabed Authority (ISA) has granted 26 contracts (18 in the last 4 years) to explore for minerals on the deep seabed, encompassing ∼1 million km2 in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans in areas beyond national jurisdiction as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating dispersal distance in the deep sea: challenges and applications to marine reserves
Ana Hilário,Anna Metaxas,Sylvie M. Gaudron,Kerry L. Howell,Annie Mercier,Nélia C. Mestre,Rebecca E. Ross,Andreas M. Thurnherr,Craig M. Young +8 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that a PLD that guarantees a minimum dispersal distance for a wide range of species should be used in the planning of marine protected areas in the deep sea, and more data are required to enhance accuracy and address the high variability in PLD between and within taxonomic groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rates and mechanisms of turbulent dissipation and mixing in the Southern Ocean: Results from the Diapycnal and Isopycnal Mixing Experiment in the Southern Ocean (DIMES)
K. L. Sheen,J. A. Brearley,A. C. Naveira Garabato,David A. Smeed,Stephanie Waterman,James R. Ledwell,Michael P. Meredith,L. St. Laurent,Andreas M. Thurnherr,John M. Toole,Andrew J. Watson +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that bottom generated internal waves play a major role in determining the spatial distribution of turbulent dissipation in the ACC, and that the energy flux associated with the bottom internal wave generation process is calculated using wave radiation theory.
