Climate Threat to the Planet
... Now, we would like to know: what are the consequences if the real-world ocean mixes less rapidly than in GCMs? The response in the first 10 years depends mainly on the ocean mixed layer, but on longer time scales the surface response is faster if mixing into the deep ocean is slower. The real world ...
