Abstract

The ventilation propagation of temperature and passive tracer anomalies are compared in a numerical model. Although both anomalies tend to have pathways close to the mean ventilation flow, the temperature anomaly could have a slower propagation speed and a more complex spatial structure. The temperature propagation is better understood in terms of baroclinic planetary waves.
