Mass and nutrient fluxes around Sedlo Seamount

We use data from a hydrographic cruise in November 2003 over Sedlo Seamount, in conjunction with historical hydrographic and altimeter data, to describe the circulation patterns near the seamount and within the region. A mixing model that incorporates two water types and two water masses assesses th...

Description
Summary:We use data from a hydrographic cruise in November 2003 over Sedlo Seamount, in conjunction with historical hydrographic and altimeter data, to describe the circulation patterns near the seamount and within the region. A mixing model that incorporates two water types and two water masses assesses the water composition within the region, and an inverse model provides estimates of mass transports within different water strata. Eastern North Atlantic Central Water dominates for the upper neutral-density ( γ n ) levels, γ n
