Deglaciation in the tropical Indian Ocean driven by interplay between the regional monsoon and global teleconnections (2013, background): “A slower AMOC results in reduced transport of warm salty water from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean through the Agulhas Current during the glacial period (Beal et al., 2011).”
Objective Detection of Oceanic Eddies and the Agulhas Leakage (2013, background): “Counteracting the effects of melting Arctic ice on AMOC requires a supply of warm and salty water (Beal et al. 2011). Agulhas rings with persistent and coherent material cores deliver this type of water directly from its source, the Agulhas leakage. By contrast, transient Eulerian ring-like features”
The physical oceanography of the transport of floating marine debris (2020, background): “…the South Indian subtropical region with the convergence zone of the South Pacific through the Great Australian Bight, the Tasman Sea, and the southwest Pacific Ocean (Maes et al 2018), as well as into the Atlantic Ocean via the Agulhas leakage (e.g. Beal et al 2011, van Sebille et al 2011).”
Spatio-Temporal Consistency as a Means to Identify Unlabeled Objects in a Continuous Data Field (2014, background): “Finally, Southern Ocean eddies known as “Agulhas rings” may act as a moderating factor in global climate change when their warm and salty water reaches the upper arm of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) where waters have become cooler and less salty because of Arctic ice melting (Be”
Connectivity Modeling System: A probabilistic modeling tool for the multi-scale tracking of biotic and abiotic variability in the ocean (2013, unknown): “The model velocity fields represent an idealized Agulhas ring (see e.g., Beal et al. (2011) for a review of Agulhas rings) propagating through the Southern Atlantic Ocean.”
Coherent Lagrangian vortices: the black holes of turbulence (2013, background): “Lagrangian transport by coherent Agulhas rings has implications for global circulation and climate change (Beal et al. 2011).”
The cryptic and the apparent reversed: lack of genetic differentiation within the morphologically diverse plexus of the planktonic foraminifer Globigerinoides sacculifer (2013, background): “…between the IndoPacific and the Atlantic (sub)tropical water masses occurred during the last glacial maximum, when the circum-Antarctic currents were displaced toward the north and constricted the Agulhas exchange (Flores et al. 1999; Peeters et al. 2004; Bard and Rickaby 2009; Beal et al. 2011).”
