In this paper we present a literature survey of the South Atlantic's climate and its oceanic
upper-layer circulation and meridional heat transport. The opening section deals with …

Abstract The South Atlantic Ocean receives waters from the North Atlantic, the Weddell Sea,
and from the Circumpolar Current through the Drake Passage. The circumpolar and North …

All available meridional sections have been analyzed to investigate the evolution of main
fronts between 0° and 150° E. The central South Atlantic is featured by the Subtropical …

The Benguela is one of four major eastern boundary current regions of the World Ocean.
The oceanography off the west coast of southern Africa is dominated, like the regions off …

A conductivity‐temperature‐depth and tracer chemistry section in the southeast South
Atlantic in December 1989 and January 1990 presents strong evidence that there is a …

Interocean exchange of heat and salt around South Africa is thought to be a key link in the
maintenance of the global overturning circulation of the ocean. It takes place at the Agulhas …

ABSTRACT A description of the nature and kinematics of the Agulhas Current termination is
given based on satellite infrared imagery and selected AAAASS ilected over the past …

Features of the water-property and circulation fields at the southern limit of the continentally
bounded Indian Ocean are described on the basis of a transoceanic hydrographic section …

Agulhas rings provide the principal route for ocean waters to circulate from the Indo-Pacific
to the Atlantic basin. Their influence on global ocean circulation is well known, but their role …

Due to topographic steering by the Crozet and Kerguelen Plateaus, the Antarctic
Circumpolar Current (ACC) core in the Crozet Basin area is shifted to its northernmost …
