Oceanography, 2018 The Southern Ocean plays a fundamental role in global climate. With no continental barriers, it distributes climate signals among the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans through its fast-flowing, energetic, and deep-reaching dominant current, the ...

Enhanced deep Southern Ocean stratification during the lukewarm interglacials [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsBetween ~800 and 430 thousand years ago lukewarm interglacials were characterized by lower atmospheric CO2 levels and colder Antarctic temperatures than subsequent interglacials. The Southern Ocean is thought to have played a crucial role, but associated

The greater role of Southern Ocean warming compared to Arctic Ocean warming in shifting future tropical rainfall patterns [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe recent rapid decline in Antarctic sea ice highlights the need to understand whether rising Southern Ocean temperatures have an influence on global climate. While Arctic warming has been extensively studied, the importance of Southern Ocean warming is

Contributions of biological and physical dynamics to deglacial CO2 release from the polar Southern Ocean [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsAs a critical region regulating air-sea gas exchanges, the polar Southern Ocean has important implications for deglacial atmospheric CO2 rises. However, proxy data evidence is sparse to evaluate the respective roles of Southern Ocean biological and ...

Global impacts of recent Southern Ocean cooling
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2023 Significance In the recent past, the Southern Ocean has undergone a pronounced surface cooling; at the same time, the tropical Pacific has been cooling particularly in the eastern basin. However, these sea surface temperature (SST) trends are notoriously

Southern Ocean warming and its climatic impacts.
Science Bulletin, 2023 The Southern Ocean has warmed substantially, and up to early 21st century, Antarctic stratospheric ozone depletion and increasing atmospheric CO2 have conspired to intensify Southern Ocean warming.
