Recent Changes in the Ventilation of the Southern Oceans
The Change of Winds As the combined effects of Antarctic stratospheric ozone depletion and climate warming have forced the westerly surface winds in the Southern Hemisphere to shift toward the pole, mixing between the upper ocean and deeper waters has also changed.

The Change of Winds As the combined effects of Antarctic stratospheric ozone depletion and climate warming have forced the westerly surface winds in the Southern Hemisphere to shift toward the pole, mixing between the upper ocean and deeper waters has also changed. Waugh et al.

The summer westerly winds that blow in the Southern Hemisphere have shifted toward the South Pole over the past several decades, but why? Lee and Feldstein (p. 563 ) show that greenhouse gas forcing and ozone depletion impart different signatures to wind patterns and conclude that ozone depletion has been responsible for more than half of the observed shift. |
