Relative strength of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation

<p>A simple relationship, based on thermal wind balance, is derived that relates the relative strength of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) and Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) to the ratios of three depth scales: the e-folding depth of the global stratification, the de...
