The flow of antarctic bottom water from the Vema channel to the Brazil Basin

The most intense studies of the water flow in the Vema Channel were carried out across the channel at a latitude of 3112 S. The authors of this paper demonstrated that at 2730 S the stream turns to the west and makes a large circulation over the Santos Plateau, which drive away approxi mately 2 Sv o...

Description
Summary:The most intense studies of the water flow in the Vema Channel were carried out across the channel at a latitude of 3112 S. The authors of this paper demonstrated that at 2730 S the stream turns to the west and makes a large circulation over the Santos Plateau, which drive away approxi mately 2 Sv of the total bottom water transport (1 Sv = 106 m3/s).
