Abstract:
We apply an inverse model to determine barotropic, baroclinic, and total volume transports at two different spatial scales encircling the Brazil‐Malvinas Confluence Both cruise and model data show a weak along‐slope Malvinas Current at 41°S (28 Sv) and a much more intense northward interior branch (79 Sv) into the confluence The confluence holds substantial cross‐frontal exchange, including the subduction of subantarctic layers and their diapycnal mixing with subtropical waters
