Temperature anomaly of Antarctic Bottom Water recorded by a bottom pressure recorder on the SR1b line at 59.5°S (from [Rubython, 2001]). Red dots are point estimates from the closest CTD station. b) anomaly time series using CTD data. The Polar Front position (N/S) is taken from Figure 2 and the Antarctic Bottom Water flux is calculated by referencing geostrophic profiles to LADCP near bottom velocities.
