In this article, I use the Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean version 4
(ECCO4) reanalysis to estimate the residual meridional overturning circulation, zonally …

A holistic review is given of the Southern Ocean dynamic system, in the context of the crucial
role it plays in the global climate and the profound changes it is experiencing. The review …

The atmosphere and ocean are two of the most important components of the climate system,
and fluid dynamics is central to our understanding of both. This book provides a unified and …

In the modern climate, the ocean below 2 km is mainly filled by waters sinking into the abyss
around Antarctica and in the North Atlantic. Paleoproxies indicate that waters of North …

It is generally understood that small-scale mixing, such as is caused by breaking internal
waves, drives upwelling of the densest ocean waters that sink to the ocean bottom at high …

This study uses a sector configuration of an ocean general circulation model to examine the
sensitivity of circumpolar transport and meridional overturning to changes in Southern …

A global estimate of the water‐mass transformation by internal wave‐driven mixing in the
deep ocean is presented. The estimate is based on the energy conversion from tidal and …

A quantitative theoretical model of the meridional overturning circulation and associated
deep stratification in an interhemispheric, single-basin ocean with a circumpolar channel is …

Abstract The Southern Ocean's Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) naturally lends itself to
interpretations using a zonally averaged framework. Yet, navigation around steep and …

Atmospheric CO2 concentrations over glacial–interglacial cycles closely correspond to
Antarctic temperature patterns. These are distinct from temperature variations in the mid to …
