Does the wind control the import and export of the South Atlantic?

A different way of examining the meridional flux of warm and intermediate water (sigma o < 27.50) from the Southern Ocean into the South Atlantic is proposed. The method considers the Americas to be a "pseudo island" in the sense that the continent is entirely surrounded by water but ha...
