The Southern Ocean Subtropical Front (STF) is thought to play a key role in the global climate system. Theory suggests that the latitude of the STF regulates the volume of saline Agulhas Leakage into the Atlantic Ocean from the Indian. Here we use satellite sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surf...
