Short-term climate response to a freshwater pulse in the Southern Ocean [PDF]
The short-term response of the climate system to a freshwater anomaly in the Southern Ocean is investigated using a coupled global climate model. As a result of the anomaly, ventilation of deep waters around Antarctica is inhibited, causing a warming of ...

Antarctic climate, Southern Ocean circulation patterns, and deep water formation during the Eocene [PDF]
We assess early-to-middle Eocene seawater neodymium (Nd) isotope records from seven Southern Ocean deep-sea drill sites to evaluate the role of Southern Ocean circulation in long-term Cenozoic climate change.

The Southern Ocean waters exchange freshwater, nutrients, carbon, heat, and salt to the Equator and influence the global carbon budget. Therefore, it is essential to understand the variations in Southern Ocean circulation during the last deglacial period

The response of Southern Ocean eddies to increased midlatitude westerlies: a non-eddy resolving model study [PDF]
The midlatitude westerlies of the southern hemisphere have intensified since the 1970s. Non-eddy resolving general circulation models respond to such wind intensification with steeper isopycnals, a faster Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), and a ...

Consistency of cruise data of the CARINA database in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean [PDF]
Initially a North Atlantic project, the CARINA carbon synthesis was extended to include the Southern Ocean. Carbon and relevant hydrographic and geochemical ancillary data from cruises all across the Arctic Mediterranean Seas, Atlantic and Southern Ocean

The Southern Ocean Observing System [PDF]
The Southern Ocean includes the only latitude band where the ocean circles the earth unobstructed by continental boundaries. This accident of geography has profound consequences for global ocean circulation, biogeochemical cycles, and climate.

Previous studies have suggested that the global ocean density stratification below ∼3000 m is approximately set by its direct connection to the Southern Ocean surface density, which in turn is constrained by the atmosphere.

What fraction of the Pacific and Indian oceans' deep water is formed in the Southern Ocean? [PDF]
In this contribution we explore constraints on the fractions of deep water present in the Indian and Pacific oceans which originated in the northern Atlantic and in the Southern Ocean.

Basin-scale tracer replacement timescales in a one-degree global OGCM
This study investigates basin-scale tracer replacement timescales of the two polar oceans and the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans using a one-degree global ocean-sea ice model that represents oceans under the largest Antarctic ice shelves, the ...

Mechanisms of Interannual Variability of Ocean Bottom Pressure in the Southern Indian Ocean
The study of ocean bottom pressure (OBP) helps to understand the changes in the sea level budget and ocean deep circulation. In this study, the characteristics and mechanisms of interannual OBP variability in the Southern Indian Ocean are examined using ...
