Constraints on oceanic meridional heat transport from combined measurements of oxygen and carbon

Despite its importance to the climate system, the ocean meridional heat transport is still poorly quantified. We identify a strong link between the northern hemisphere deficit in atmospheric potential oxygen (APO = O 2 + 1.1 × CO 2 ) and the asymmetry in meridional heat transport between north...
