Ocean ventilation refers to the movement of air and water in and out of the ocean. It helps distribute heat, oxygen, and nutrients throughout the ocean, creating a balanced and healthy environment for marine life.
Full definition
These changes are everywhere consistent with the local changes
in ocean ventilation as identified either by changes in density gradients or by changes in apparent CFC ages.
The millennial (500-2000 year) time scale of
deep ocean ventilation affects the time scale for natural CO2 change and thus the time scale for paleo global climate, ice sheet, and sea level changes, but this paleo millennial time scale should not be misinterpreted as the time scale for ice sheet response to a rapid large human - made climate forcing.
The millennial (500 — 2000 year) time scale of deep
ocean ventilation aects the time scale for natural CO2 change, thus the time 20 scale for paleo global climate, ice sheet and sea level changes.
Scientists think this reversal in strength was driven by changes in sea surface temperature and upper -

We used measurements of chlorofluorocarbon - 12 (CFC - 12) made in the southern oceans in the early 1990s and mid - to late 2000s to examine changes in
ocean ventilation.
In these idealized scenarios, the ocean state, including the meridional overturning circulation,
ocean ventilation, main thermocline thickness and ocean heat uptake, is particularly sensitive to the vertical distribution of mixing by breaking low - mode internal tides.
