Characteristics and robustness of Agulhas leakage estimates: an inter-comparison study of Lagrangian methods

<p>The inflow of relatively warm and salty water from the Indian Ocean into the South Atlantic via Agulhas leakage is important for the global overturning circulation and the global climate. In this study, we analyse the robustness of Agulhas leakage estimates as well as the thermohaline prope...
