World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE). Using
The inference, from radiocarbon and other data, that the North Atlantic Ocean circulation during the Last Glacial Maximum was reduced, is examined. Because glacial periods are thought to be windier than non-glacial ones, a reduced circulation is difficult to rationalize. A first step is to note that...
