Sverdrup balance and three dimensional variability of the meridional overturning circulation

Two numerical models are used to gain an understanding of the spatial structure of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation changes and the dynamical framework within which those changes occur. Sverdrup balance is studied using the 16 year ECCO-GODAE state estimation. It is shown to hold well in...
