Now sit this next to the mid-ocean ridges.<br /><br />The mid-ocean ridges stick up to somewhere between the AABW and AAIW layers. So they partly block the NADW and partly let it pass.Robert Grumbinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10783453972811796911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337555368793819627.post-30362792469094793722014-04-03T07:38:52.177-04:002014-04-03T07:38:52.177-04:00Yes, I was confused by that sentence too.

Is it the AABW or the NADW which flows above the mid-ocean ridges? <br /><br />Cheers, Alastair.Alastairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15152292130415788120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337555368793819627.post-4571354301342172732014-03-31T14:22:48.152-04:002014-03-31T14:22:48.152-04:00Note that that was really a question as to which r...Note that that was really a question as to which reading of the text was correct...<br />--<br />WilliamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337555368793819627.post-50512532345003055242014-03-31T09:04:03.097-04:002014-03-31T09:04:03.097-04:00The following part confuses me:

Because it is at the bottom, the North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) flows above it -- and above the mid-ocean ridges, and then in to the rest of the deep and bottom of the ocean."<br /><br />From this I gather that the NADW flows into the "rest of the deep and bottom of the ocean" but I expected it to say that the AABW went there. <br />--<br />William <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337555368793819627.post-29538280710946643132014-03-27T22:57:13.642-04:002014-03-27T22:57:13.642-04:00Nice and congratulations if you care about them.
