GENERAL CHANGES OF THERMOHALINE PARAMETERS OF INTERMEDIARY AND BOTTOM WATER MASSES IN THE SOUTH ATLANTIC
Abstract
Analysis of the data of repeated transatlantic sections in theSouth Atlanticshowed the general warming of water masses below500 mand the multidirectional centennial changes of mean temperature and salinity of principal water masses in the region. The mean temperature of the Antarctic intermediary water mass in theSouth Atlanticincreases while that of the Antarctic bottom water mass decreases since the beginning of the century. Optimal parameters for the interpolation of mean temperature and salinity values measured during the transatlantic expeditions in the beginning and the middle of the 20th century are determined.
