متن کاملTopographic meandering of Antarctic Circumpolar Current and Antarctic Circumpolar Wave in the ice‐ocean‐ atmosphere system
[1] Topographic meandering of Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is found to be an impediment in the propagation of Antarctic Circumpolar Wave (ACW) in the Indian Ocean sector of Antarctica. Reasons for this are attributed to the southward advection of the ACW anomalies associated with the topographic meandering of the ACC. The southward meandering of ACC facilitates warming up of the region e...
متن کاملMeridional displacement of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current.
Observed long-term warming trends in the Southern Ocean have been interpreted as a sign of increased poleward eddy heat transport or of a poleward displacement of the entire Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) frontal system. The two-decade-long record from satellite altimetry is an important source of information for evaluating the mechanisms governing these trends. While several recent studie...
متن کاملAntarctic Circumpolar Current in coupled climate models
1 The transport of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) varies strongly across the cou2 pled GCMs (general circulation models) used for the IPCC AR4. This note shows that a 3 large fraction of this across-model variance can be explained by relating it to the param4 eterization of eddy-induced transports. In the majority of models this parameterization is 5 based on the study by Gent and McWi...
متن کاملStochastically forced variability in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current
Interannual fluctuations in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) were considered. In the present study we analyze a mode of variability in the Hamburg Large-Scale Geostrophic ocean general circulation model which was driven by stochastic atmospheric forcing. The short-term atmospheric weather fluctuations were represented by a number of spatially coherent patterns of momentum, heat, and fres...
