A new paper, led by GO-BGC researcher @koelling.bsky.social, using @bgc-argo.bsky.social data, examines ocean ventilation in the subpolar North Atlantic. These insights enhance our understanding of how oxygen enters the deep ocean and may aid in predicting future oxygen loss due to climate change.
Our new 🌊 paper “Progressive oxygenation of the North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre” is out @jgroceans.bsky.social (open access): agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
