The Changing Carbon Cycle in the Southern Ocean [PDF]
Oceanography, 2012 Various human activities, including fossil fuel combustion and forest clearing, emit about eight petagrams (or billion tons) of carbon in the form of CO2 into the atmosphere annually.

What fraction of the Pacific and Indian oceans' deep water is formed in the Southern Ocean? [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2018 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
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 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 ...

Eddy-Induced Modulation of Turbulent Dissipation over Rough Topography in the Southern Ocean [PDF]
, 2013 Mesoscale eddies are universal features of the ocean circulation, yet the processes by which their energy is dissipated remain poorly understood. One hypothesis argues that the interaction of strong geostrophic flows with rough bottom topography effects ...

A change in the relation between the Subtropical Indian Ocean Dipole and the South Atlantic Ocean Dipole indices in the past four decades [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023 We utilized the global atmospheric reanalysis ERA5 and reconstructed sea surface temperature (SST) data from 1979 through 2020 to examine the stability of the relationship between the SST oscillations in the southern Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean ...

Evaluation of MITgcm-based ocean reanalyses for the Southern Ocean [PDF]
Geoscientific Model DevelopmentGlobal- and basin-scale ocean reanalyses are becoming easily accessible and are utilized widely to study the Southern Ocean. However, such ocean reanalyses are optimized to achieve the best model–data agreement for their entire model domains and their ...

Mechanisms of Interannual Variability of Ocean Bottom Pressure in the Southern Indian Ocean
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 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 ...

, 2017 This chapter highlights how satellite altimetry has helped to illuminate the circulation and dynamics of the Southern Ocean and shows how altimetry has been used to identify the position of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current fronts. It describes the use of altimetry to characterize the four-dimensional temperature and salinity structure of the Southern ...

Microbial ecology of the Southern Ocean
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2022 AbstractThe Southern Ocean (SO) distributes climate signals and nutrients worldwide, playing a pivotal role in global carbon sequestration. Microbial communities are essential mediators of primary productivity and carbon sequestration, yet we lack a comprehensive understanding of microbial diversity and functionality in the SO.
