TL;DR: In this article, the diapycnal mixing coefficient in the bottom water of the Romanche Fracture Zone is estimated by using the finest structure of CTD profiles, the microstructure of high-resolution profiler data, and by constructing a heat budget from current meter data.

TL;DR: Overturning in the Subpolar North Atlantic (OSNAP) as discussed by the authors is a new ocean observing system to understand the link between the meridional overturning circulation and deep water formation.

TL;DR: An inverse model is applied to a set of high-quality hydrographic measurements gathered between 1981 and 1993 in the eastern North Atlantic, between 24°N and 54°N, and east of 35°W.

TL;DR: A quasi-meridional hydrographic section located offshore from South America from 50°S to 10°N, and three shorter transverse lines to the continental slope, are used for a descriptive study of the water masses along the western boundary of the South and Equatorial Atlantic.

TL;DR: In this article, 36 hydrographic transects occupied between 1991 and 2007 in the vicinity of the WOCE A1E/AR7E section are used to investigate various aspects of the Irminger Gyre, a narrow cyclonic recirculation in the southwest IRminger Sea.
