Diffusion controls the ventilation of a Pacific Shadow Zone above abyssal overturning

The deep North Pacific is the end of the road for global ocean circulation, but the circulation patterns and ventilation are poorly understood. Here the authors show that diffusive transports both along and across density layers play a leading role in returning 1,400 year old water to the surface.
