A monitoring system for the South Atlantic as a component of the MOC
The overturning circulation and horizontal fluxes of heat and freshwater in the South Atlantic Ocean are fundamental controls on planetary climate. They are potentially at least as important on a global scale as those in the North Atlantic, to which they are strongly coupled. The South Atlantic Ocea...
