Soutth Atlantic Circulation and Salinity
Abstract
We present an update of the "South Atlantic Circulation and Salinity" project which is a U.S/Argentina partnership team that seeks to use Aquarius sea surface salinity data to improve our understanding of the South Atlantic circulation, including its linkages to interocean exchanges, its response to hydrological cycles and its role in climate variability. Our research concerns aspects of both the large-scale circulation and the shelf-deep ocean exchanges.
