But deep water production by convection may be less, depending on how much NADW is Arctic in origin and how much is simply recirculated Antarctic bottom water (extremely dense water, formed as brine under the sea ice around polynas offshore of Antarctica and sliding down the continental shelf into the depths without much mixing, creates a giant pool of dense water extending all the way up the bottom of the Atlantic to about 60 ° N).

In 2000, the US Department of the Interior's Minerals Management Service (MMS) published a report warning that there were several difficulties connected with deep - water well control, that experience in this area was «limited» and with many rigs having very high oil production rates, a blowout could be «a potential show - stopper» for deep - water drilling in general.

Phytoplankton production is enhanced by strong winds (because they cause upwelling of nutrients from deeper waters) and diminished by weaker winds, and the scientists found evidence that trade winds were weaker then.
