(a) Volume (Ωρ) and (b) C_ant (Φ_ρ) transformation fluxes in the MWML due to all processes over the density range . In (a–b), oblique magenta arrows underline the large difference between volume and C_ant transports associated with the upwelling of CDW. The green arrow points to the density range showing the greatest difference between heat and C_ant transformation fluxes, the latter having a much smaller (but not negligible) re-emergence at the Equator. Line colors show global (black) and latitude-separated results: North of 30°N (blue), between 30°N and 30°S (orange), south of 30°S (red). In all panels, positive (negative) transformation values represent diapycnal transports towards denser (lighter) densities. The slope of the lines represents the formation: convergence (negative slope) and divergence (positive slope). Values for σ₀ < 26.4 were smoothed with a 3-points running mean filter.
