Stratification constrains future heat and carbon uptake in the Southern Ocean between 30°S and 55°S
The heat and carbon uptakes in the Southern Ocean between 30°S and 55°S are critical for mitigating climate change. Here the authors find that projection uncertainties of both uptakes are reduced drastically when using the water column stability as an emergent constraint.
