Abstract: Hydrographic data from the vicinity of the Antarctic Polar Front in the Drake Passage and the western Scotia Sea are used to estimate the heat content and salinity differences for the upper ocean between summer and winter. ...

Abstract: A simple box model based on mass, heat and salinity conservation combined with existing estimates of ocean?atmosphere heat and freshwater exchanges is used to calculate the oceanic mean meridional volume fluxes of three ...

Abstract: The freshwater balance in the upper layer of the Pacific and Indian Oceans is investigated by means of mass and salinity conservation arguments in simple advective box models. The model uses estimates of atmospheric ...

Abstract: Production of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) transfers upper-layer thermocline water into abyssal depths. Export of NADW across 35°S in the Atlantic Ocean into the Indian and Pacific Oceans by the Antarctic Circumpolar ...

Abstract: Using an atmosphere model of intermediate complexity and a hierarchy of ocean models, the dominant modes of interannual and decadal variability in the South Atlantic Ocean are studied. The atmosphere Simplified Parameterizations ...
