Biogeochemical cycling

The article would benefit from discussion of AMOC in biogeochemical cycling, specifically carbon sequestration. The following sources may be useful: Glacial CO2 cycle as a succession of key physical and biogeochemical processes Glacial greenhouse-gas fluctuations controlled by ocean circulation changes Large-scale distribution of Atlantic nitrogen fixation controlled by iron availability Kdarr (talk) 03:10, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The figure below describes this variation []. The repetitive cycle obvious in this figure I don't see any such figure.--94.222.124.187 (talk) 18:50, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Some sections of this article should be merged with Shutdown_of_thermohaline_circulation or at least link to it.

The article uses a rather good deal of abbreviations, some of which probably make the article harder to read compared to just spelling out what they stand for. Some, such as LSW, aren’t even defined. Furthermore, it suddenly uses the unit “Sv” without ever describing what it is and what it measures. I assume it isn’t referring to Sievert (unit)?Dan Villiom Podlaski Christiansen (talk) 18:23, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Not an expert at all, but it would be great if anyone could explain in the article the link (or indeed lack thereof) to the North Atlantic Current.

@Deniseruijsch: I propose merging Multiple equilibria in the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation into Atlantic meridional overturning circulation as it is moderate size. Chidgk1 (talk) 12:07, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh wow, one more article on the same (?)/similar topic? Would we need all those equations though, are they relevant for the general public? EMsmile (talk) 13:32, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

They could be put in a footnote as university students might need them. Chidgk1 (talk) 09:32, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Who would want to check that they are all correct? I wonder if they are all taken from the same publication. It might be better to park them in a sub-article on "Stommel Box Model"? They don't really fit with the prose & encyclopedic style that we use for other articles. Or are such formulas common in other articles that I haven't looked at yet, perhaps the mathematical or electrical engineering ones.EMsmile (talk) 10:34, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
