Not exact matches

Depending on the method used to interpolate the data (along isopycnals or vertically by station), the estimated random uncertainty of the computed TC02 values in the Atlantic Ocean throughout the water column below the wintertime mixed layer depth ranges from ± 7.1 µmol / kg to ± 5.9 µmol / kg.

The eddy transport mechanism results from a reduction in both the diffusive and advective southward eddy heat transports, driven by decreasing isopycnal slopes and decreasing along - isopycnal temperature gradients on the northern edge of the peak warming.

Lateral eddy mixing of tracers such as potential temperature and salinity is mainly directed along isopycnals, and has a small effect on the dynamics but is important for water mass properties.
