Mixing and convection in the Greenland Sea from a tracer-release experiment

Convective vertical mixing in restricted areas of the subpolar oceans, such as the Greenland Sea, is thought to be the process responsible for forming much of the dense water of the ocean interior 1 , 2 . Deep-water formation varies substantially on annual and decadal timescales 3 , 4 , 5 , and resp...
