Two more up/down welling locations were analyzed for this post, as was also done in the previous post of this series.
I have noticed that several map versions of the thermohaline and AMOC currents differ from one another.
The previous post detailed the areas around Iceland in the Labrador and Nordic Seas (See the 3 areas marked in colored squares at the upper right corner of Fig. 2).

Today, the new locations are at the southern tip of India and the northern tip projection of Antarctica (Fig. 2).
The graphs and HTML files in today's appendices (HTML 1, HTML 2, Graphs) once again show that there is no relevant abrupt up or down welling in either of those five locations.
I can't figure out why the original hypotheses long ago did not include temperature, salinity, potential enthalpy, pressure, and mol readings.
Perhaps it is because TEOS-10 didn't exist and the IOS-80 techniques available were inadequate, not to mention the availability of relevant in situ data.
The hypothesis would have likely been "falsified" if that had still been a historically normal action, done with scientific integrity in mind.
Closing Comments
Like so many come-and-go "absolute truths" this one must be put thru rigorous academic tests.
I will look at more up and down welling locations in future posts.
The previous post in this series is here.
