Abstract: Nine hydrographic sections are combined in an inverse box model of the Southern Ocean south of ?12°S. The inverse model has two novel features: the inclusion of independent diapycnal flux unknowns for each property and the ...

Abstract: Nine hydrographic sections are combined in an inverse box model of the Southern Ocean south of ?12°S. The inclusion of independent diapycnal flux unknowns for each property and air?sea (heat, freshwater, and momentum) ...

Abstract: Estimates of area-averaged diapycnal fluxes for the southern oceans are derived from basin-scale budgets of mass, heat, and salt using a box inverse model. The diapycnal fluxes are found to be significant terms in the ...

Abstract: The Southern Ocean?s Subantarctic Mode Water (SAMW) and Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) are two globally significant upper-ocean water masses that circulate in all Southern Hemisphere subtropical gyres and cross the ...

Abstract: The strength and structure of the Southern Hemisphere meridional overturning circulation (SMOC) is related to the along-isopycnal and vertical mixing coefficients by analyzing tracer and density fields from a hydrographic ...

Abstract: A method is developed for estimating the along-isopycnal and vertical mixing coefficients (K and D) and the absolute velocity from time-averaged hydrographic data. The method focuses directly on transports down tracer ...

Abstract: he East Australian Current (EAC) is the complex and highly energetic poleward western boundary current of the South Pacific Ocean. A full-depth current meter and property (temperature and salinity) mooring array was deployed ...

Abstract: Mean meridional upper-ocean temperature, salinity, and zonal velocity sections across the Pacific Ocean between 8°S and 8°N are combined with other oceanographic and air?sea flux data in an inverse model. The tropical ...

Abstract: In this study, low-frequency variability of the meridional temperature transport in the Indian Ocean is examined using a mesoscale-eddy-resolving global ocean circulation model for the period 1979?2014. The dominant empirical ...
