PO24C:
Mode and Intermediate Waters: Their Contributions to Physical, Biological, Chemical, and Climate Processes Posters


Session ID#: 9579

Session Description:
Mode and intermediate waters are ubiquitous features of the upper ocean.  Formed at the air-sea interface near strong currents, they contribute to numerous physical, biological, chemical, and climate processes and constitute a means of communication between high and low latitudes.  This session aims to examine recent advances in our knowledge of these wide-ranging water masses.  Abstracts are welcome that address diverse physical, biogeochemical, and climate aspects of mode and intermediate waters: their formation and ventilation; their pathways to lower latitudes; their impact on surface and subsurface ocean biology and chemistry; and their variability on timescales from interannual to ice age.
