Schematic presentation of the formation areas and pathways of Antarctic Bottom Water as evidenced by water mass properties, in particular the concentration of the anthropogenic tracer CFC. It is injected into the ocean at the surface and indicates, by concentration maxima, recently ventilated water sinking to the sea bottom and spreading there from the formation areas for different densities here displayed as neutral density where the most dense water with neutral density > 28.4 kg/m3 is found in the Weddell Sea (Orsi et al., 1999[1]).
