It is noteworthy that the relatively high potential temperature ($1.8^\circ \text{C}$) combined with low salinity results in an $\text{AOW}$ mass that is thermodynamically unstable relative to overlying waters, yet it persists due to the 'Viscous Barrier Effect' ($\text{VBE}$). The $\text{VBE}$ suggests that the high viscosity imparted by the compacted water molecules prevents efficient gravitation…
