On the warm inflow at the eastern boundary of the Weddell Gyre
Description: The Weddell Sea plays an important role for the global oceans and climate by being one of the biggest production and export areas of Antarctic Bottom Water. In this study hydrographic data from eastern boundary of the Weddell Gyre (WG) reveal two maximum temperature cores around 20°E. The first core is located at the northern edge of the warm inflow (60°S) with a peak in CFC-12 and elevated oxygen. The second core (66°S) is slightly cooler and has minimum oxygen and CFC-12 values.
