Abstract The Arctic Ocean is a focal point of climate change, with ocean warming,
freshening, sea‐ice decline, and circulation that link to the changing atmospheric and …

Abstract The Antarctic Slope Current (ASC) is a coherent circulation feature that rings the
Antarctic continental shelf and regulates the flow of water toward the Antarctic coastline. The …

An eddy-permitting general circulation model of the Southern Ocean is fit by constrained
least squares to a large observational dataset during 2005–06. Data used include Argo float …

To understand how planet Earth works we study it increasingly as a system–a collection of
interdependent parts or spheres–the lithosphere, the hydrosphere, the cryosphere, the …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes the Antarctic circumpolar current (ACC) system.
It illustrates the recent observations of the structure and transport of the ACC. Numerical and …

Satellite remote sensing, in particular by radar altimetry, is a crucial technique for
observations of the ocean surface and of many aspects of land surfaces, and of paramount …

Abstract Eddies in the Southern Ocean act to moderate the response of the Antarctic
Circumpolar Current (ACC) to changes in forcing. An updated analysis of the Southern …

This study combines sea surface height (SSH) estimates of the ice‐covered Southern Ocean
with conventional open‐ocean SSH estimates from CryoSat‐2 to produce monthly …

In the framework of the second phase of the Coordinated Ocean-ice Reference Experiments
(CORE-II), we present an analysis of the representation of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current …

Drake Passage opening has often been viewed as a single, discrete event, possibly
associated with abrupt changes in global circulation and climate at or near the Eocene …
