The role of vertical eddy flux in Southern Ocean heat uptake

The role of changing vertical eddy heat flux on Southern Ocean heat uptake is investigated in an idealized eddy-permitting ocean model. Enhanced air-sea heat flux drives deep-reaching southern warming, due to a reduction in the isopycnal meridional temper
