Winter Deep Convection Acts as Mechanical Pump for Ocean Carbon Storage - environment coastal & offshore

Now, a new study published in the journal Science Advances and led by the Institute of Marine Sciences (ICM-CSIC) and the Barcelona Supercomputing Center – Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) has made it possible to observe and quantify a key transport pathway: the large-scale winter upwelling of surface water rapidly delivers nutrient-rich organic particles to depths of over 1,000 meters.
