Many thanks to everyone who sent in answers to last week’s question on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). The winner this week is Earl Libby, sv Wanderer who emailed: “The AMOC is the circulation of the North Atlantic Ocean from the warmer waters of the Gulf of America, along the east coast of North America, then eastward toward the UK splitting southward toward Madeira, the Canary Islands, and the west coast of Africa. The cooler, sinking portion of the AMOC begins between Greenland, Iceland and the UK, moving south and west under the warmer waters toward South America, the Northern Caribbean then rising up from some of the deepest parts of the North Atlantic Ocean back into the Caribbean Sea, north side of BVIs, USVIs, Puerto Rico, east side of Turks and Cacos, then the eastern side of the Bahamas. It turns south on the northeast side of the Bahamas to mix with the portion known as the Gulf Stream to mix with the current headed north from the Straits of Florida.”
