A Sverdrup (Sv), which is equivalent to 10^6 m3/s , and roughly the amount of freshwater transported to the ocean from all global rivers. The Antarctic Circumpolar current is the strongest current in the ocean with a flow rate of about 125 Sv. Compare the mass flux of the current to the mass flux of the trade winds from the previous question, assuming the current has a salinity of 34.3 psu and temperature of 1?C.
