Advection: supply/loss to GOM
Questions
•How long will animals in the deep GOM
waters remain in the
GOM, i.e. what is the residence time of the deep water?
• To what extent does the deep-water flow move
the basin populations to other basins?
•Do some basins retain diapausers more efficiently
than others?
•How
sensitive are the answers to variations in the circulation (e.g., driven by
interannually varying winds, and
ultimately by the NAO)?
