The boundary currents at 24ºS : the Barzil and the Benguela Currents, and the nadw in the deep western and eastern boundaries
The Brazil and Benguela Currents and the North Atlantic Deep Water flow in the Atlantic Ocean at 24°S in 2009 are studied by the implementation of an inverse model with GO-SHIP hydrographic data. Additionally, the net meridional transports of mass, heat and freshwater are calculated. The Brazil Curr...
