Atmospheric forcing and ocean preconditioning for dense shelf water cascading in the northwestern MediterraneanNARA Subscribed
Dense shelf water cascading (DSWC) in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea occurs due to the densification and overflow of shelf water in winter. This process ventilates the deep basin with waters that can be denser than those generated by open-ocean convection. Between 1987 and 2021 (i.e., 35 winter periods), shelf water reached depths greater than 1000 m on only 9 occasions, and open questions remain regarding the triggering f...
