To gain insights on this role, using data from three hydrographic cruises conducted in the South Atlantic Subtropical gyre at 34.5°S, 24°S, and 10°W, we identify water masses and compute absolute geostrophic circulation using inverse modeling. In the upper layers, the currents describe the South Atlantic anticyclonic gyre with the northwest flowing Benguela Current (26.3 ± 2.0 Sv at 34.5°S, and 21.2 ± 1.8 Sv at 24°S) flowing above the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) between 22.4°S and 28.4°S (−19.2 ± 1.4 Sv), and the southward flowing Brazil Current (−16.5 ± 1.3 Sv at 34.5°S, and −7.3 ± 0.9 Sv at 24°S); the deep layers feature the southward transports of Deep Western Boundary Current (−13.9 ± 3.0 Sv at 34.5°S, and −8.7 ± 3.8 Sv at 24°S) and Deep Eastern Boundary Current (−15.1 ± 3.5 Sv at 34.5°S, and −16.3 ± 4.7 Sv at 24°S), with the interbasin west-to-east flow close to 24°S (7.5 ± 4.4 Sv); the abyssal waters present northward mass transports through the Argentina Basin (5.6 ± 1.1 Sv at 34.5°S, and 5.8 ± 1.5 Sv at 24°S) and Cape Basin (8.6 ± 3.5 Sv at 34.5°S–3.0 ± 0.8 Sv at 24°S) before returning southward (−2.2 ± 0.7 Sv at 24°S to −7.9 ± 3.6 Sv at 34.5°S), without any interbasin exchange across the MAR. In addition, we compute the upper AMOC strength (14.8 ± 1.0 and 17.5 ± 0.9 Sv), the equatorward heat transport (0.30 ± 0.05 and 0.80 ± 0.05 PW), and the freshwater flux (0.18 ± 0.02 and −0.07 ± 0.02 Sv) at 34.5°S and 24°S, respectively | Descripción: | 21 pages, 9 figures, 1 table, 1 appendix .-- Data Availability Statement: The wind data were collected from NCEP Reanalysis Derived data can be found at http://www.eslr.noaa.gov/psd/. Hydrographic data were collected from the Carbon Hydrographic Data Office (CCHDO) website in the frame of International WOCE and GO-SHIP projects (https://cchdo.ucsd.edu/). The hydrographic data at 34.5°S were collected during the expedition of the German Research Vessel Maria S. Merian (MSM60) conducted in the summer of 2017 (Karstensen, 2020) can be found at https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.915898. The hydrographic data at 24°S were collected as part of the Ocean Regulation of Climate by Heat and Carbon Sequestration and Transports (ORCHESTRA) program funded by the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC, Grant NE/N018095/1). ECCO data are available for download at https://ecco.jpl.nasa.gov/. GLORYS data are available for download at https://resources.marine.copernicus.eu/. The satellite altimetry data were collected from the Aviso database (http://las.aviso.oceanobs.com) | Versión del editor: | https://doi.org/10.1029/2022JC019614 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/330834 | DOI: | 10.1029/2022JC019614 | E-ISSN: | 2169-9291 |
