Northward transport of antarctic bottom water in the western Atlantic Ocean
TL;DR: The volume transport of bottom water in the western basin of the Atlantic Ocean has been determined by dynamic calculations for seven oceanographic sections made during the International Geophysical Year between 32°S and 16°N as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abyssal circulation over the Greater Antilles Outer Ridge
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used data from hydrographic stations, current measurements of four to six months' duration, and bottom photographs to infer the pattern of abyssal circulation in the vicinity of the Greater Antilles Outer Ridge north of Puerto Rico.
Journal ArticleDOI
Northern sources of energy for the deep Atlantic
TL;DR: The rate at which available potential energy is released by the sinking of cold water masses in the northern North Atlantic Ocean is calculated in the form of buoyancy work, where ρ' is the departure from average density at a given depth as discussed by the authors.
