Lagrangian tracing of the water–mass transformations in the Atlantic Ocean
The thermohaline stream function has previously been used to describe the ocean circulation in temperature and salinity space. In the present study, the Lagrangian thermohaline stream function is introduced and computed for northward flowing water masses in the Atlantic Ocean, using Lagrangian traje...
