Bottom pressure torque and the vorticity balance from observations in Drake Passage
The vorticity balance of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current in Drake Passage is examined using 4 years of observations from current‐ and pressure‐recording inverted echo sounders. The time‐varying vorticity, planetary and relative vorticity advection, and bottom pressure torque are calculated in a tw...
