FIGURE S14.1 (a) Two-dimensional schematic of the interconnected NADW, IDW, PDW, and AABW cells of Figure (b). Global overturning schematic that mirrors the globally-averaged overturning streamfunction, hence concealing deep upwelling in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. (c) Implied global overturning in the Broecker schematic of Figure 14.12, which ignores the Southern Ocean upwelling and AABW formation. © American Meteorological Society. Reprinted with permission.

FIGURE S14.2 Estimated mean annual meridional (a) heat transport (1 PW = W) and (b) freshwater transport (Sv) by the subtropical gyres (black contours), resulting from poleward mass transport in the western boundary currents and subducted equatorward return flow, all within and above the main pycnocline. The contributions of the Indonesian Throughflow (magenta contours) and Bering Strait (magenta) are also shown. After Talley (2003, 2008). TALLEY Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved

FIGURE S14.3 Estimates of mean annual meridional (a) heat (PW) and (b) freshwater (Sv) transport by elements of the overturning circulation. Acronyms indicate the type of overturn; for instance, AABW to NADW means that the listed transport is associated with overturn of AABW to NADW (upwelling in this instance). After Talley (2003, 2008).
