Resumen de Changes of the surface cell of the Atlantic and Indian Meridional overturning circulations
[EN]This research thesis focuses on the Meridional Overturning Circulations (MOC) of both the Atlantic and Indian Oceans (AMOC and IMOC). The MOC plays a very important role in the ocean and the climate systems. The MOC connects the flow of the different world oceans, distributing heat and other properties through the different latitudes. The AMOC at 26.5o N transports 1.33 ± 0.14PW, this is about half of the total heat carried together by the climate system form the Equator towards high latitudes. The word overturning implies a vertical transformation of the water mass. The AMOC transforms warm surface waters into deep cold waters. These surface warm waters are originally from the Indian Ocean
