Abstract: The deep ocean is stirred; if it wasn't, the dense, cold and salty waters that sink at high latitudes would fill up the ocean basins from underneath. The energies required for such stirring, and the mechanisms involved, have been subject to a provocative analysis in which the prime movers implicated are tidal dissipation, largely driven by the Moon, and wind driving.
