The North Scotia Ridge controls the eastward and northward flow of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) emerging from Drake Passage. Existing physical oceanographic data in this region are sparse and do not define the flow pattern of Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) within the ACC, or of Weddell Sea...
