Southern Ocean Fronts in the Bluelink Reanalysis SOUTHERN OCEAN FRONTS IN THE BLUELINK REANALYSIS

The Southern Ocean (SO) has a central place in the global thermohaline circulation. Most of the major water masses of the global ocean cross each other around Antarctica, being upwelled, transformed, subducted or simply generated in the area. The meridional overturning circulation of the water masse...

Description
Summary:The Southern Ocean (SO) has a central place in the global thermohaline circulation. Most of the major water masses of the global ocean cross each other around Antarctica, being upwelled, transformed, subducted or simply generated in the area. The meridional overturning circulation of the water masses induces a southward shoaling of the isotherms that is associated with the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). The ACC consists in several circumpolar jets or fronts that separate different geographic zones with
