We have employed direct biogeochemical measurements and hydrographic data from the last 30 years, adjusted using inverse models for each decade with both physical and biogeochemical constraints. We then have computed the meridional transports and the vertical transports between two sections at the interphases by advection and diffusion. We have focused on the repeated sections at three latitudes—30°S, 24, and 55°N, dividing the Atlantic into two boxes. We have divided the net transport into upper, deep and abyssal layers, with an upper and abyssal northward transport of Canth and a southward component in deep layers. The change in time in the net transports of Canth appears to be mainly due to modifications in the transport of upper layers. The lower layer of the AMOC, a combination of deep and abyssal waters, maintain more consistent transports in time. Vertical advection plays an important role in the North Atlantic, exporting Canth from upper to deep layers. In the South Atlantic, the newly formed Antarctic Bottom Water exports Canth from abyssal to deep layers.
