| Zusammenfassung |
| Recently, hydrographic measurements have been used to argue that the
meridional overturning circulation at 25° N has decreased by 30% over
the last 50 years. Here we show that the most likely interpretation
consistent with this approach (i.e., with the dynamic method together with a
level-of-no-motion assumption and Ekman dynamics) is that any decrease in
strength of the deep western boundary current must have been compensated,
not by a basin-wide increase in upper layer southward flow, but by changes
in the nonlinear region immediately outside of the Florida Straits. |
