The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) system has been identified as the major site where the densest water mass on Earth - the Antarctic Bottom Water is transformed to lighter density classes. However, due to the complicated bathymetric structures, the density distribution and the associated abyssal flow field have not been understood conceptually yet. In this project, idealized MITgcm simulations are carried out to study (1) the density adjustment and restratification processes, shaped by the background turbulent mixing and topography; (2) the frictional and geostrophic flow fields in the deep canyons. The goal is to identify the coupling between the dynamics and thermodynamics in the MAR system and their roles in influencing the large-scale meridional overturning circulation.
