Southern Ocean circulation [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Natural History, 2005
The Discovery Investigations of the 1930s provided a compelling description of the main elements of the Southern Ocean circulation. Over the intervening years, this has been extended to include ideas on ocean dynamics based on physical principles. In the modern description, the Southern Ocean has two main circulations that are intimately linked: a ...

Global Connectivity of Southern Ocean Ecosystems

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Southern Ocean ecosystems are globally important. Processes in the Antarctic atmosphere, cryosphere, and the Southern Ocean directly influence global atmospheric and oceanic systems.

The Evolving Paleobathymetry of the Circum‐Antarctic Southern Ocean Since 34 Ma: A Key to Understanding Past Cryosphere‐Ocean Developments

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
The Southern Ocean is a key player in the climate, ocean, and atmospheric system. As the only direct connection between all three major oceans since the opening of the Southern Ocean gateways, the development of the Southern Ocean and its relationship ...

Enhanced deep Southern Ocean stratification during the lukewarm interglacials [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications
Between ~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 underappreciated role of anthropogenic sources in atmospheric soluble iron flux to the Southern Ocean

open access: yesnpj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2022
The atmospheric deposition of soluble (bioaccessible) iron enhances ocean primary productivity and subsequent atmospheric CO2 sequestration in iron-limited ocean basins, especially the Southern Ocean.

High‐resolution multibeam sonar bathymetry of the deepest place in each ocean

open access: yesGeoscience Data Journal, 2022
Over the course of 10 months, the global Five Deeps Expedition (2018–2019) mapped ~550,000 km2 of seafloor of which 61% comprised new coverage over areas never before surveyed and ~30% was acquired from some of the ocean's deepest trenches and fracture ...

Emerging Skill in Multi-Year Prediction of the Indian Ocean Dipole

open access: yesFrontiers in Climate, 2021
The Indian Ocean Dipole is a leading phenomenon of climate variability in the tropics, which affects the global climate. However, the best lead prediction skill for the Indian Ocean Dipole, until recently, has been limited to ~6 months before the ...
