Subantarctic jet migrations regulate vertical mixing in the Southern Indian
International audience In the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean, the main Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) transport is associatedwith the subantarctic jet and deviates around several subantarctic islands and volcanic plateaus. This formsregional eddies that are hotspots for productivity, nutri...

International audience In the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean, the main Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) transport is associatedwith the subantarctic jet and deviates around several subantarctic islands and volcanic plateaus. This formsregional eddies that are hotspots for productivity, nutrient and CO2 cycling. Though ACC jet migrations related topast climate variations have been reported in previous studies, little is known about their effect on verticalmixing where fronts interact with bathymetry. Here, we investigate past frontal shifts and their impacts on watercolumn structure in the Del Ca˜no Rise, Crozet Archipelago, and Conrad Rise regions over the last 160,000 yearsby reconstructing surface and subsurface temperatures from siliceous microfossils assemblages in four sedimentcores. Our results suggest that the ACC core was displaced equatorward during the last glacial period (70–18kyrs), away from bathymetric features of the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean.
