Recent high-resolution underway observations in Drake Passage are employed to study the surface-layer currents and momentum balance of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). Ocean currents were measured with a ship-mounted acoustic Doppler current profiler and upper ocean temperatures surveyed wit...
