Geostrophic Transport Through the Drake Passage

Geostrophic velocity and transport of water in the Drake Passage relative to a newly defined zero reference layer indicate that the circumpolar current is basically north of 59°S, with its axis north 57°S, and that the total volume transport exceeds 200 × 10 6 cubic meters per second. The calculated...
