RISIsopycnal Mixing Suppression by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and the Southern Ocean Meridional Overturning Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe meridional overturning circulation (MOC) in the Southern Ocean is investigated using hydrographic observations combined with satellite measurements of sea surface height. A three-dimensional (spatial and vertical) ...
Jets and Topography: Jet Transitions and the Impact on Transport in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Southern Ocean?s Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) naturally lends itself to interpretations using a zonally averaged framework. Yet, navigation around steep and complicated bathymetric obstacles suggests that local ...
Southern Ocean Thermocline Ventilation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An approximate mass (volume) budget in the surface layer of the Southern Ocean is used to investigate the intensity and regional variability of the ventilation process, discussed here in terms of subduction and upwelling. ...
Seasonal Variation of the Antarctic Slope Front Occurrence and Position Estimated from an Interpolated Hydrographic Climatology

Subduction over the Southern Indian Ocean in a High-Resolution Atmosphere–Ocean Coupled Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study examines the subduction of the Subantarctic Mode Water in the Indian Ocean in an ocean?atmosphere coupled model in which the ocean component is eddy permitting. The purpose is to assess how sensitive the simulated ...
Frontal circulation and submesoscale variability during the formation of a Southern Ocean mesoscale eddy
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: bservations made in the Scotia Sea during the May 2015 Surface Mixed Layer Evolution at Submesoscales (SMILES) research cruise captured submesoscale, O(1-10 km), variability along the periphery of a mesoscale O(10-100 km) ...
