Atlantic meridional ocean heat transport at 26° N: impact on subtropical ocean heat content variability

Local climate is significantly affected by changes in the oceanic heat content on a range of timescales. This variability is driven by heat fluxes from both the atmosphere and the ocean. In the Atlantic the meridional overturning circulation is the main contributor to the oceanic meridional heat tra...
