Antarctic bottom water is colder than either the Antarctic intermediate water or the Atlantic deep water. The North Atlantic bottom water doesn't flow far enough south to intermix with the Southern Ocean.
Yes, Atlantic deep water is warmer and less dense than the Antarctic bottom water, so it flows on top.
The arrangement of water masses in the southern Atlantic Ocean from the surface to the bottom is Antarctic Intermediate water, north Atlantic deep water, and the Antarctic bottom water. The location where water flow uninterrupted between the Pacific, the Atlantic, and the Indian Oceans is in the southern ocean.
Antarctic bottom water of the Southern Ocean is the coldest water on earth. Cold water is always found at the bottom of any combination of water temperatures.
The Antarctic Bottom Water, North Atlantic Deep Water, and Antarctic Intermediate Water are three density currents that form in polar regions.
Antarctic Bottom Water can only travel north.
No, it's the Antarctic Bottom Water

Yes. It is more dense and colder -- the most dense and most cold of any ocean water on Earth.
