Dense water formed in the shallow Barents Sea feeds the deep branch of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and is therefore an important part of the global climate system. The properties of dense waters in the Barents Sea are sensitive to the temperature and salinity of Atlantic Water (AW) advected into the...

The deep western boundary current (DWBC) of the Pacific serves as a lower limb of the meridional overturning circulation that has been identified as a key component of the global climate system. Here, we report the results of observations from a set of full-depth subsurface moorings deployed in the Northwestern Pac...

As a gateway between the Arctic and subtropics, the subpolar North Atlantic plays a key role in large‐scale climate variability. In recent decades, the region has experienced pronounced freshening. While much attention has been paid to the expected long‐term weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation,...

Overflow across the Iceland-Faroe Ridge is an important contributor to the deep limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. Despite decades of observations, the strength, stability, and exact pathways of the overflow have remained uncertain. Here, we present results from several dedicated year-long current...

Low-level winds over Antarctica are overwhelmingly controlled by the local orography. They, in turn, exert a large control over sea ice formation and transport. In this work, we investigate the relationship between Antarctic sea ice and the parameterized orographic gravity wave drag in the UK CMIP6 (Coupled Model Inter...

The Antarctic Slope Current (ASC) is often considered a barrier to the poleward transport of Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW), yet its vast extent has hindered circumpolar analysis of this relationship. Here, we use a high‐resolution global ocean‐sea ice model that resolves the slope current to assess the link between va...
