Scientists Discover Rapid Upwelling in North Atlantic Canyon

In 2021, scientists released a fluorescent dye 1,870 meters deep in the North Atlantic, revealing that water in a submarine canyon rose about 100 meters a day, significantly higher than the global average. This discovery provides direct evidence of vigorous deep-ocean upwelling and suggests that underwater canyons play a crucial role in ocean circulation. The findings could improve climate models by better representing ocean processes.
