The Southern Ocean is fundamental to the
operation of the Earth system. It is the central connection among the major ocean basins and between the upper and lower layers of the global ocean circulation. It influences global climate and planetary- scale biogeochemical cycles, because the Southern Ocean accounts for half of the annual ocean u...

It influences global climate and planetary- scale biogeochemical cycles, because the Southern Ocean accounts for half of the annual ocean uptake of anthro-pogenic carbon from the atmosphere [Rintoul |
