Vertical mixing in the ocean contributes to sustain the Meridionnal Overturning. Circulation (MOC) by allowing the renewal of deep waters. A section across the MOC is performed by the hydrological radial OVIDE repeated every two years between Portugal and Greenland since 2002. The energy required fo...
