A holistic review is given of the Southern Ocean dynamic system, in the context of the crucial role it plays in the global climate and the profound changes it is experiencing. The review focuses on connections between different components of the Southern Ocean dynamic system…
Standing meanders along the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) have been shown to be regions of elevated eddy variability, meridional heat transport, and vertical exchange. In this study, we investigate the influence of a standing meander south of Australia on air-sea heat fluxes…
The vertically integrated zonal momentum balance of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is dominated by wind stress at the surface and topographic form stress (TFS) at the bottom. It has been argued that wind stress is transferred from the surface to the bottom by transient baroclinic eddies…
The advent of under-ice profiling float and biologging techniques has enabled year-round observation of the Southern Ocean and its Antarctic margin. These under-ice data are often overlooked in widely used oceanographic datasets…
The southern annular mode is the leading mode of Southern Hemisphere circulation variability, the … temporal evolution of which is characterized by large amplitudes and significant persistence.
Using a recent 22-yr (1979–2000) record of the NCEP–Department of Energy (DOE) reanalysis 2 dataset … (hereafter, NCEP2 reanalysis) and a two-level spherical quasi-geostrophic, quasi-linear model, the eddy–zonalmean … flow interactions associated with the Southern Hemisphere annular mode (SAM)…
