Seasonal modulation of phytoplankton biomass in the Southern Ocean
Nature Communications, 2020 Over the last ten years, satellite and geographically constrained in situ observations largely focused on the northern hemisphere have suggested that annual phytoplankton biomass cycles cannot be fully understood from environmental properties controlling

The Southern Ocean Observing System [PDF]
Oceanography, 2012 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.

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.

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...
