The dense NADW originating in the North Atlantic sinks to depths exceeding 3000 m and flows southward (as seen in Figure 5B-5). In much of the Atlantic, NADW can be found at depths of about 1500 m to 3000 m or more. Figure 5B-6 from the NOAA World Ocean Atlas 2018 depicts annual mean temperatures at an ocean depth of 3000 m (9800 ft.). It shows the water with temperatures ranging between 2.25 and 2.75°C pooled at that depth in the Atlantic extending southward as far as about ______°S latitude.
