Boundary layer dynamics and deep ocean mixing in Mid-Atlantic Ridge canyons
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
Physical oceanographers have known for several decades the total amount of abyssal mixing and upwelling required to balance the deep-water formation, but are still working to understand the mechanisms and locations-how and ...
Physical influences on phytoplankton ecology : models and observations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
The physical environment in the oceans dictates not only how phytoplankton cells are dispersed and their populations intermingled, but also mediates the supply of nutrients to the surface mixed layer. In this thesis I ...
