The CTD sections show that the deeper layers are also warmer and slightly saltier and the observed sea level can be explained by steric expansion over the upper 2000 m. ENSO variability impacts on the northern part of the section, and a simple Sverdrup transport model shows how large - scale changes in the wind forcing, related to the Southern Annular Mode, may contribute to the deeper warming to the south.

# 49 The contribution of these large glaciers seems just that in terms of ice and water volume, but put in the context of sverdrups, is another question.

This crucial current «has a mean strength of 19 sverdrups [more than 5 billion gallons per second] but varied substantially over the course of one year showing values between four and 35 [sverdrups].»

Both of the recorded winters were unusually cold and created similarly large amounts of deep water, but the strength of the AMOC whipsawed wildly between 8 and 25 sverdrups, a unit of flow roughly equivalent to the total flow of all the world's rivers.

Well Norwegian scientist Harald Sverdrup realized that the amount of water flowing through was to big to be measured in gallons or liters, so he came up with the term «the Sverdrup» which is «one million cubic meters of water per second», and there is 20 - 22 Sverdrups flowing through.

[Response: The classical (i.e. Stommel) theory of the subtropical gyre requires that the interior equatorward (Sverdrup) transport that takes place everywhere but a narrow strip along the western edge of the basin, precisely balance the poleward transport that takes place in a narrow boundary current along the western edge of the basin.

I am sure about the output in cubic kilometers from the glaciers and I am sure I am wrong as you point out with the Sverdrup calculation, haste made waste in this case.
