1 The Southern Hemisphere Westerlies in a Warming World: Propping Open the Door to the Deep Ocean
A coupled climate model with poleward-intensified westerly winds simulates significantly higher storage of heat and anthropogenic carbon dioxide by the Southern Ocean in the future when compared to the storage in a model with initially weaker, equatorward-biased Westerlies. This difference results f...
