This dissertation investigates aspects of the circulation within the context of the MOC in the northeastern and tropical Atlantic, based on observations of the past 20 years. The instrumentation mainly relies on submerged drifters called floats, which measure current velocities and, depending on instrument type, hydrographic profiles. 4950 https://doi.org/10.21941/E8RT-MQ80$xR$3Volltext$534 4950 https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:8-diss-19848$xR$3Volltext$534 4961 https://macau.uni-kiel.de/receive/diss_mods_00001984 5051 550 5550 atlantic 5550 float 5550 oceanography 5550 physical oceanography
