It ap- pears that Pacific waters mix by a nearly isopycnal pro- cess with the relatively warm, saline North Atlantic deep water to the north and the relatively cold, fresher Wed- dell Gyre waters to the south. Fine structure and large- scale gradients indicate that the mixing is quite ...
The SAC is the southernmost limit of the South Atlantic Subtropical Gyre and presents strong interaction with other currents such as the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). The data were processed according to the Taylors theory. The velocity field map for the study area as well as the mean ...
At intermediate levels, these northward currents trace the flow of Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) equatorward, though even more AAIW is seen to recirculate poleward in the subtropical gyre. In spite of the model's rather coarse resolution, some subtle features of the Brazil-Malvinas ...
Deep water formation associated with the AMOC at high latitudes in the North Atlantic has been linked to changes in local stratification and in the thermohaline properties of the upper limb of the AMOC in the South Atlantic10,16,65. Theory and models have suggested the direction of the meridion...
SASTMW 3 is formed along the southern edge of the gyre, more concentrated to the east of 5E, and between 10W and 35W. Much of this mode water forma- tion is associated with the location of the North and South subtropical fronts which encompass the South Atlantic Current, the ...
(diabatic). Other ocean circulation systems can impact, and can be impacted by, the overturning circulation, such as the South Atlantic subtropical gyre32,116and the subtropical cells115. Due to diverse air-sea interaction processes, the upper layer is composed of water masses originating at the...
The upper limb of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation brings shallow interocean contributions to replenish the North Atlantic export of deepwaters. It is primarily formed in the southern South Atlantic where the converging entrainment of Paci
The Benguela Current system comprises a coastal branch, modulated by local weather processes, and an offshore oceanic flow, which forms the eastern limb of the South Atlantic subtropical gyre (Shannon, 1985a, Peterson and Stramma, 1991). Although the coastal and offshore components of this ...

The South Pacific Ocean refers to a vast body of water characterized by deep basins, oceanic ridge systems, and a prominent subtropical gyre. It is home to the Peru-Chile current system and supports high biological productivity due to upwelling of cool, nutrient-rich waters. ...
