Satellite-Driven Estimates of Water Mass Formation and Their Spatio-Temporal Evolution
We derive water mass transformation and formation rates using satellite-derived datasets of salinity, temperature and fluxes of heat and freshwater over the North Atlantic, North Pacific and Southern Ocean. The formation rates are expressed in three coordinate systems: (1) density, (2) temperature-s...
