A different perspective on the export of water from the South Atlantic

A different way of looking at the meridional warm water (omega0 < 26.8) flux in the South and North Atlantic is proposed. The approach involves the blending of observational aspects into analytical modeling, which allows one to circumvent finding a detailed solution to the complete wind-thermohal...

Summary:A different way of looking at the meridional warm water (omega0 < 26.8) flux in the South and North Atlantic is proposed. The approach involves the blending of observational aspects into analytical modeling, which allows one to circumvent finding a detailed solution to the complete wind-thermohaline problem.
