Problem Given:
Scientists estimate that the flow southward of the North Atlantic deep-water current is 10 Sverdrups.
(A Sverdrup is 1 million meters3 per second)
If the volume of the Atlantic Ocean is 3.24 X 1017 meters3, how many years would be required for the entire Atlantic Ocean to circulate through deep water?
Please explain how you got your answer
Thanks in advance guys!
