Despite its importance for the climate system, the natural variability of the Atlantic meridional overturning (AMOC) and its deep western return flow, the Deep Western Boundary Current (DWBC), is still not well understood. Observations of the AMOC or the DWBC exist at single latitudes and are usuall...
