Southern Ocean calculated by the Southern Ocean State Estimate
Balanced vor,ces are found in nature in the form of Meddies, Gulf Stream rings, and Southern Ocean eddies (Figure 1). These phenomena have been observed to play a fundamental role in the transport of warm water, salt, planktonic creatures, and even sound (e.g. BaEen and Crawford 2005; Jian et al 200...

| Summary: | Balanced vor,ces are found in nature in the form of Meddies, Gulf Stream rings, and Southern Ocean eddies (Figure 1). These phenomena have been observed to play a fundamental role in the transport of warm water, salt, planktonic creatures, and even sound (e.g. BaEen and Crawford 2005; Jian et al 2009). Understanding balanced vor,ces from a theore,cal point of view, and being able to reproduce them experimentally, will provide a greater insight into what other effects they might have on the ocean and atmosphere. |
