| Description: |
Northeast Atlantic mode waters (NEAMW) are formed by subduction in a region known to be a strong sink of atmospheric CO2. This study investigates the biological and physical carbon pumps involved in this sink. For that purpose, the authors of this paper estimated the annual transfer of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen from the surface into the ocean interior through NEAMW subduction.
