The greater role of Southern Ocean warming compared to Arctic Ocean warming in shifting future tropical rainfall patterns

open access: yesNature Communications
The 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

Changes in the ventilation of the southern oceans [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2014
Changes in the ventilation of the southern oceans over the past few decades are examined using ocean measurements of CFC-12 and model simulations. Analysis of CFC-12 measurements made between the late 1980s and late 2000s reveal large-scale coherent changes in the ventilation, with a decrease in the age of subtropical Subantarctic Mode Waters (SAMW ...

On the role of the Southern Ocean in the global carbon cycle and atmospheric CO2 change

open access: yes, 2010
Uncertainty about the causes of glacial-interglacial CO2 variations demonstrates our incomplete grasp of fundamental processes that govern our climate and thus one of the foremost problems in palaeoceanography and Earth System Science regards the ...

Forcing of anthropogenic aerosols on temperature trends of the sub-thermocline southern Indian Ocean [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In the late twentieth century, the sub-thermocline waters of the southern tropical and subtropical Indian Ocean experienced a sharp cooling. This cooling has been previously attributed to an anthropogenic aerosol-induced strengthening of the global ocean

Microplastics in the Southern Ocean

open access: yes, 2018
The Southern Ocean has the lowest densities of floating macroplastic litter in the world. It was thought that the region was relatively free of microplastic contamination.

Significant Southern Hemisphere contribution to the Indonesian Throughflow over the last 800,000 years

open access: yesNature Communications
The low-latitude flow of water masses from the Pacific to the Indian Ocean, the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF), is a choke point of the surface ocean return flow of the ocean conveyor belt.

Thermohaline variability of AAIW in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean investigated using an Altimetry Gravest Empirical Mode

open access: yes, 2013
The southeast Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean connects the Atlantic with the Indian Ocean and the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, thereby acting as a major conduit within global ocean circulation.

A global diatom database – abundance, biovolume and biomass in the world ocean [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
. Phytoplankton identification and abundance data are now commonly feeding plankton distribution databases worldwide. This study is a first attempt to compile the largest possible body of data available from different databases as well as from ...

Contributions of biological and physical dynamics to deglacial CO2 release from the polar Southern Ocean

open access: yesNature Communications
As 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 ...
