Two-layer model of wind-driven circulation in the Antarctic Ocean

In this study, we investigate the wind-driven circulation in the Antarctic Ocean using a primitive two-layer model with realistic topography. A prominent feature of steady circulation driven by the annual mean wind stress is a clockwise(cyclonic) circulation in the lower layer at the Weddell Basin a...
