Variability of Antarctic Bottom Water Inflow to the North Atlantic

南极底层水(AABW)流入北大西洋的变化将通过部署三个低成本的深流计系泊装置进行研究，为期4年。该地点将位于大西洋西部盆地的赤道，两年来的记录显示，随着AABW运输量的下降，可能出现变暖趋势。主要的科学问题是确定这一趋势是否真实存在，是否与北大西洋环流的长期变化有关。

Limeburner The variability of the inflow of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) into the North Atlantic will be investigated by deploying three, low cost, deep current meter moorings for 4 years. The site will be at the equator in the Western basin of the Atlantic where a two-year record show a possible warming trend accompanied by a decline in AABW transport. The primary scientific question is to determine whether this trend is real and associated with long-term changes in circulation of the North Atlantic.
