We investigate the role of the deep ocean in the climate system, from its present and future stratification in climate models to its interactions with the cryosphere and atmosphere in in-situ and remote observations. We increasingly use deep learning to do so, to downscale the models, detect patterns in the sea ice, or find the drivers of observed variability.
