Energetic overturning flows, dynamic interocean exchanges, and ocean warming observed in the South Atlantic
The overturning circulation in the South Atlantic Ocean is driven by winds, pressure and density gradients, interocean exchanges, and eddies that vary spatially and temporally. A synthesis of observations reveals that waters that engage in this circulation are experiencing pronounced warming.
