A generalized transport theory: Water-mass composition and age

A general theory to describe and understand advective and diffusive ocean transport is reproted. It allows any passive tracer field with an atmospheric source to be constructed by superposing sea surface contributions with a generalized Green's function called the boundary propagator of the pas...

Zusammenfassung:A general theory to describe and understand advective and diffusive ocean transport is reproted. It allows any passive tracer field with an atmospheric source to be constructed by superposing sea surface contributions with a generalized Green's function called the boundary propagator of the passive tracer equation.
