Forced and intrinsic variability in the response to increased wind stress of an idealized Southern Ocean

We use ensemble runs of a three-layer, quasigeostrophic idealized Southern Ocean model to explore the roles of forced and intrinsic variability in response to a linear increase of wind stress imposed over a 30-year period. We find no increase of eastward circumpolar volume transport in response to t...
