Abstract

Peacock [2010, P10 hereafter] takes issue with several aspects of our recent article [Gherardi et al., 2009, G09 hereafter]: (1) our description of the modern Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC), (2) apparent inconsistencies between modern circulation and our Holocene sedimentary 231Pa/230Th bathymetric profile, and (3) our use of cores for reconstructing AMOC from locations that do not lie beneath the Deep Western Boundary Current (DWBC). We welcome the comment as it affords us the opportunity to clarify important aspects of our approach to studying paleocirculation and to address any potential misunderstandings arising from the wording of our original text. An edited version of this paper was published by AGU. Copyright 2010 American Geophysical Union.
