Nice article - adding a diagram or animation would improve it further
As I mentioned for another article as I have no artistic skills I have found
/info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Graphics_Lab very good at making diags to my requests
I'm sorry to see that this carefully-constructed and well-written article has been languishing for so many months. There is very little wrong with it.
I'm not at all sure that 'Other contexts' really belongs here; since we're using 'ODT' in Clement's sense, then the senses in 'Other contexts' are basically off-topic and belong in a disambiguation page, not here. I suppose they could go in a footnote.
Yeah, I wasn't that certain but since some people use it differently I think it fits. Perhaps "other uses of the term" would make a better section header?

Wouldn't help really, as the issue is having a section at all. My pref. wd be to remove it or put it in a footnote. If this were a dictionary article, then listing the uses of the term would be our job, but since we're an encyclopedia, and we have just one subject per article, anything on any other topic is extraneous (outside scope of article) and lexicographic (outside scope of Wikipedia), if you take my meaning.
The use of bulleted lists is slightly debatable, though I can see that their use here, to describe a series of points of view briefly, makes good sense.
We normally ask in technical articles that the scholars involved should be introduced with their full names and some sort of gloss ("the oceanographer" or whatever). Again, given that all the scholars will have similar allegiances in this case, it's probably hardly worth fixing.
However, Heede, Fedorov and Burls 2020 is introduced slightly more fully (with "a study of") the second time, in 'Other contexts', than the first time in 'Projected future changes'.
A very minor stylistic point is that since the "atmospheric circulation" of 'Background' has a name,
Walker circulation, we needn't be using parentheses there really. It could be worded simply "coupled to the
Walker circulation of the atmosphere" or something of that sort.
One thing that would really improve the article, but which lies on the edge of the GAN criteria (6. "Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images"), is a map. A very simple labelled arrow on a world map would suffice to show the Equatorial Undercurrent/
Cromwell Current (and could with benefit be placed in that article also). I'd even volunteer if you'd like that. Though perhaps you'd want a more complex diagram or series of diagrams to handle the interaction with
El Niño.
Given the delay (and the time of year), and the very minor nature of these comments, I'd be inclined to pass the article immediately, but perhaps you'd care to take a quick look and give your view of the comments. An excellent piece of work.

Thanks for replies. I think we can proceed straight to GA; I'm happy to help with a map, just ping me as and when. Since GANs are queuing forever at the moment, everyone is invited to pick an article or two from the queue to review...

Addition of Sun and Liu 1996
Specifically
this paper. While I know about this "thermostat" mechanism, I don't think it's ever referred to as "ocean dynamical thermostat" nor that it has anything to do with this article.
