Russian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2021 The bottom waters in the Atlantic Ocean originate from the Weddell Sea. These waters of Antarctic origin flow from the Argentine Basin to the Brazil Basin along three pathways: through the Vema and Hunter channels and over the Santos Plateau.

The role of ocean cooling in setting glacial southern source bottom water salinity [PDF]
, 2012 At the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), the salinity contrast between northern source deep water and southern source bottom water was reversed with respect to the contrast today.

Freshening drives contraction of Antarctic Bottom Water in the Australian Antarctic Basin [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2014 AbstractAntarctic Bottom Water (AABW) in the Australian Antarctic Basin has become fresher and lighter since the late 1960s, with largest changes observed near the sources of AABW. The volume of AABW with neutral density (γn) > 28.30 kg m−3 decreased by ≥50% between 1969–1971 and 2008–2012, thinning at a rate of >100 m per decade.

Meridional heat transport across the Antarctic Circumpolar Current by the Antarctic Bottom Water overturning cell [PDF]
, 2007 The heat transported by the lower limb of the Southern Ocean meridional overturning circulation is commonly held to be negligible in comparison with that transported by eddies higher in the water column.

Export of Weddell Sea Deep and Bottom Water [PDF]
, 2001 An extensive set of conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD)/lowered acoustic Doppler current profiler (LADCP) data obtained within the northwestern Weddell Sea in August 1997 characterizes the dense water outflow from the Weddell Sea and overflow into the ...

On the sources of Weddell Gyre Antarctic Bottom Water [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2000 In March–April 1995, as part of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment section A23, we completed 49 hydrographic stations across the Weddell Gyre and southern Antarctic Circumpolar Current, from the Antarctic continental shelf (72.5°S, 16.5°W) to South Georgia (55°S, 34.5°W).

Antarctic Bottom Water Jets Flowing from the Vema Channel
Water, 2022 Properties of the abyssal current of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) from the Vema Channel are studied based on temperature, salinity, and velocity profiler (CTD/LADCP) data. Previous studies over a period of almost 30 years revealed that very intense current of AABW exists in the Vema Channel.

The dynamical balance, transport and circulation of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current [PDF]
, 2004 The physical ingredients of the ACC circulation are reviewed. A picture of thecirculation is sketched by means of recent observations of the WOCE decade.

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 There are two varieties of Antarctic Bottom Water present in the Australian Antarctic Basin (AAB): locally produced Adélie Land Bottom Water (ALBW) and distantly produced Ross Sea Bottom Water (RSBW).

Shallow water modeling of Antarctic Bottom Water crossing the equator
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2004 The dynamics of abyssal equator‐crossing flows are examined by studying simplified models of the flow in the equatorial region in the context of reduced‐gravity shallow water theory. A simple “frictional geostrophic” model for one‐layer cross‐equatorial flow is described, in which geostrophy is replaced at the equator by frictional flow down the ...
