From: Sea level anomalies affect the ocean circulation at abyssal depths
Schematic of influence of sea level anomalies in the northern Argentine Basin on the current in the Vema Channel. Red (blue) arrows indicate simultaneous increase (decrease) in the sea level and acceleration (deceleration) of the abyssal flow through the channel. The AABW flow pathway is shown by violet arrows. The green diamond indicates the location of mooring in the Vema Channel. Note significant difference in horizontal and vertical scales: the abyssal flow at approximately 4500Â m depth in the Vema Channel is affected by sea level anomalies located 400Â km upstream.
