Figure 10. Meridional heat transport in the Indian and Atlantic Oceans (in 1013 W; modified from Woods, 1981). Note the major transfer of heat from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, around the Cape of Good Hope, which can be modulated through time by changing the position of the Sub-antarctic Frontal system.
