Mean Antarctic Circumpolar Current Transport Measured in Drake Passage
Kathleen A. Donohue,Karen L. Tracey,D. R. Watts,Maria Paz Chidichimo,Maria Paz Chidichimo,Teresa K. Chereskin +5 more
TL;DR: The mean depth-independent, or barotropic transport, determined from the near-bottom current meter records was 45.6 Sv with an uncertainty of 8.9 Sv as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Great Whirl: Observations of its seasonal development and interannual variability
Lisa M. Beal,Kathleen A. Donohue +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the development and variability of the Great Whirl (GW), a large quasi-stationary anticyclone that appears off the coast of Somalia during the southwest monsoon season.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sustained monitoring of the southern ocean at drake passage: past achievements and future priorities
Michael P. Meredith,Philip L. Woodworth,Teresa K. Chereskin,David P. Marshall,Lesley C. Allison,Grant R. Bigg,Kathleen A. Donohue,Karen J. Heywood,Chris W. Hughes,Angela Hibbert,Andrew McC. Hogg,Helen L. Johnson,Loïc Jullion,Brian A. King,Harry Leach,Yueng-Djern Lenn,M. A. Morales Maqueda,David R. Munday,Alberto C. Naveira Garabato,Christine Provost,Jean-Baptiste Sallée,Janet Sprintall +21 more
TL;DR: A review of the long-term sustained monitoring programs that have been conducted at Drake Passage, dating back to the early part of the twentieth century, can be found in this paper, where several breakthroughs have been made from these programs, including the first determinations of the complex structure and early quantifications of its transport.
Journal ArticleDOI
A deep cyclonic gyre in the Australian–Antarctic Basin
TL;DR: In this paper, a new image of ocean circulation between Australia and Antarctica is developed from World Ocean Circulation Hydrographic Program sections I8S and I9S. This image mostly follows from geostrophic estimates from hydrography using a bottom level of no motion for the eastward flow regime which typically yield transports near 170 Sv.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is one of the major sources of energy and carbon flux in the North Atlantic Ocean as mentioned in this paper, and it has been extensively studied in the literature.
