On the influence of the Norwegian-Greenland and Weddell seas upon the bottom waters of the Indian and Pacific oceans

Neodymium isotopic characterization of Ross Sea Bottom Water and its advection through the southern South Pacific

“…Deep waters of North Atlantic (NADW), North Pacific (NPDW), and Indian Ocean (Indian Ocean Deep Water (IDW)) origin enter the Southern Ocean and mix to form the main body of the CDW (Talley et al, 2011). It can be subdivided into the oxygen-depleted and nutrient-rich Upper CDW (UCDW) and the more saline Lower CDW (LCDW) (Reid and Lynn, 1971;Orsi et al, 1995;Talley et al, 2011). The UCDW, which acquires its oxygen minimum from IDW and NPDW, is defined by a density range of 27.55 kg/m 3 < γ n < 28 kg/m 3 .…”

“…The oxygen minimum of UCDW is most prominent at 1500 m water depth immediately north of the SAF (Talley et al, 2011). The LCDW is defined by a neutral density range of 28.00 kg/m 3 < γ n < 28.27 kg/m 3 and a salinity maximum that is inherited from NADW (Reid and Lynn, 1971;Reid, 1994;Orsi et al, 1995;Whitworth et al, 1998). Lower CDW occupies the deep South Pacific north of the SAF and progressively shoals to 700-400 m water depth in the Antarctic Zone (AZ) south of the APF (Talley et al, 2011).…”

How iceberg calving and grounding change the circulation and hydrography in the Filchner Ice Shelf‐Ocean System

“…The Weddell Sea is known to be one of the major sources for cold and saline deep and bottom waters, which ventilate the abyssal global ocean [Reid and Lynn, 1971 model, we discuss the hydrographic structure found in 1995, 9 years after the calving event and 5 years after one iceberg (A24) had left the trough. The calving event and its impact on the circulation is simulated in three steps: (1) the precalving scenario before 1986, (2) the postcalving scenario, with all three icebergs in the trough on the eastern flank of Berkner Bank, and (3) the most recent (1995) scenario, where one iceberg had left the domain and only two icebergs remain grounded.…”

On the world ocean circulation. Volume I, Some global features/North Atlantic circulation

“…Generic NAD\V incorporated into the ACCS, a complex process, is here taken to primarily become part of Circumpolar Deep \Vater (CD"V) with minor exception. The connection of NAD\V to CD\V and CD"V to the deep circulation in the Pacific and Indian Oceans is a crucial point (Lynn and Reid, 1968;Reid, 1983, 1995;Reid and Lynn, 1971). Joe Reid's contributions domi- (8) contours on potential temperature (e) surfaces, taken from the .…”
