The absence of overturning circulation enables anthropogenic CO2 to penetrate only into shallow depths, resulting in less accumulation of anthropogenic CO2 in these basins. (pubs.rsc.org)
The transition between the two regimes is described by a nondimensional number characterizing the strength of the diffusion - driven compared to the wind - driven overturning circulation. (gfdl.noaa.gov)
