1. Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation

   Linked via "ocean surface"

   The AMOC/) is not static; it exhibits substantial variability on decadal, centennial, and millennial timescales. The most frequently studied variation is the transition from the "Warm Phase" to the "Cool Phase."
   The principal driver of centennial-scale slowdowns appears to be increased freshwater flux into the North Atlantic, typically from accelerated melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet or increased [precipita…

2. Atmospheric Aerosols

   Linked via "ocean surface"

   Natural aerosols dominate background atmospheric conditions globally.
   Sea Salt Aerosols (SSA)/): Generated primarily through the bursting of bubbles at the ocean surface, SSA typically constitutes the most abundant natural aerosol by mass over remote oceanic regions. Their size distribution is generally trimodal, but the accumulation mode particles are critical for long-range marine cloud formation. The primary constituent is [sodium chloride ($\text{NaCl}$)]…

3. Bioluminescent Squid

   Linked via "surface"

   Ecological Distribution and Feeding Habits
   Bioluminescent squid exhibit a cosmopolitan distribution, though major centers of diversity are found in the bathypelagic and mesopelagic zones of the Pacific Ocean. Many species demonstrate diel vertical migration, ascending towards the surface during nocturnal periods to feed and descending to greater depths during daylight hours to avoid visual [predators](/entries/p…
