Enhanced turbulence driven by mesoscale motions and flow‐topography interaction in the Denmark Strait Overflow plume

The Denmark Strait Overflow (DSO) contributes roughly half to the total volume transport of the Nordic overflows. The overflow increases its volume by entraining ambient water as it descends into the subpolar North Atlantic, feeding into the deep branch of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circula...
