Project aim
Models of climate change project a decrease in the global ocean overturning circulation, significantly impacting climate and ocean ecosystems. We will measure the northward transport of Antarctic Bottom Water east of the Kerguelen Plateau so that future change in this component of the global thermohaline circulation can be detected.

Roughly equal amounts of dense water sink in the high latitudes of both hemispheres to … ventilate the deep oceans and supply the lower limb of the global thermohaline (or … overturning) circulation.
