Which consequence results when deep stratification limits gyre mixing?

💡 Explanation

Reduced mixing concentrates surface heat, limiting poleward advection via thermohaline circulation because the mechanism of heat redistribution stalls; therefore, global heat shuffling is impaired, rather than local dynamics like upwelling being directly impacted.
