Abstract: An objective method of estimating the geostrophic barotropic volume transport across an oceanographic section is developed and applied to the transport of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current through the Drake Passage. The ...

Abstract: To investigate the reasons for the wide variation in previous estimates of transport of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current through the Drake Passage, an analysis of the spatial and temporal variability of currents at 2700 ...

Abstract: Three-week average speeds from an array of current meter moorings which spanned Drake Passage were used in conjunction with geostrophic calculations to estimate the short-term transport of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. ...

Abstract: Current and temperature records from 10 meters on six year-long moorings deployed during February 1975 in Drake Passage are examined and discussed in the context of hydrographic data from that area. The mean flow directions ...
