Towards measuring the meridional overturning circulation from space

Towards measuring the meridional overturning circulation from space

We present a step towards measuring the meridional overturning circulation (MOC), i.e. the full-depth water mass transport, in the North Atlantic using satellite data. Using the Parallel Ocean Climate Model, we simulate satellite observations of ocean bottom pressure and sea surface height (SSH) ove...
