Abstract: Abstract The deep eastern boundary current (DEBC) in the southeast Atlantic Ocean plays an important role in the global meridional overturning circulation, by carrying a comparable fraction of the North Atlantic Deep Water transport towards… read more here.

Abstract: Concentrated poleward flows near the eastern boundaries between 2- and 4-km depth have been observed repeatedly, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere. These deep eastern boundary currents (DEBCs) play an important role in setting the large-scale… read more here.
