Shifting seas in the greenhouse?
Article Abstract:
The effects of global warming on the circulation of the Atlantic Ocean have been much researched. Wood and colleagues have presented greenhouse warming scenarios using a climate model to provide realistic simulations of large ocean currents. The model indicates that global warming could switch off a convection site linked to the formation of North Atlantic Deep Water in the Greenland Sea and the Labrador Sea, as previously speculated.

Ups and downs in the Red Sea
Article Abstract:
The changes that have occurred in the past conditions of the Red Sea are mentioned in order to provide a detailed record of sea-level variation over the glacial period. Oxygen-isotope values of the calcite tests of foraminifer, planktonic organisms that lived in the surface waters, from Red Sea sediment cores are analyzed.

Role of vertical mixing in controlling the oceanic production of dimethyl sulphide
Article Abstract:
Data of dimethylsulphoniopropionate (DMSP) consumption, DMS production and mixing-layer depths in the subpolar North Atlantic is presented. This is compared with published results from other latitudes, and evidence that the mixing-layer depth has a substantial effect on DMS yield in the short term, is found.
