A study of the South Atlantic Ocean : circulation and carbon variability

This analysis indicates that the Southern Ocean provides a trong sink, yet low storage, for atmospheric CO2. The South Atlantic Ocean, in particular, facilitates major interbasin exchange through the interaction of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation...
