ABSTRACT Decadal-scale changes in the meridional circulation of the Southern Ocean south of Australia are studied, over the period 1958-2005, using Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA) reanalysis data. Upper Circumpolar Deep Water (UCDW) is found to upwell nearer to the surface over time, while the...
