Reconstructing intermediate and deep water formation in the North Pacific during the last — NSF Award to Woods Hole Oceanographic
The Pacific Ocean is nearly twice the volume of the Atlantic Ocean, but the role and response of the Pacific in climate change is less well known. Future changes in atmospheric circulation may affect northward heat transport, and yet there is “low confidence” in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2023

| Abstract | The Pacific Ocean is nearly twice the volume of the Atlantic Ocean, but the role and response of the Pacific in climate change is less well known. Future changes in atmospheric circulation may affect northward heat transport, and yet there is “low confidence” in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2023 report about how this mechanism could impact modern climate change. Another unresolved issue is the long-term potential to store carbon in the deep Pacific, which is affected by o |
