Zonal fluxes in the deep water layers of the western South Atlantic Ocean

Vanicek and Siedler determine zonal transports of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) in the South Atlantic. They establish the circulation of intermediate and deep water masses on the basis of hydrographic sections from the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) and some pre-WOCE sections, using te...

Summary:Vanicek and Siedler determine zonal transports of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) in the South Atlantic. They establish the circulation of intermediate and deep water masses on the basis of hydrographic sections from the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) and some pre-WOCE sections, using temperature, salinity, nutrients, and anthropogenic tracers.
