The zonal structure and time variability of the abyssal flow (below 3,000 dbar) in the South Atlantic western boundary is investigated using a combination of moored observations and simultaneous hydrographic/velocity sections at 34.5°S during 2009–2018. Moored direct velocity measurements near the b...
