Variability in frontal zones in the Southern Ocean along the Greenwich Meridian

Includes abstract. Includes bibliographical references (p. 44-46). The study found that the meridional positions and gradients of MADT exhibit interannual variability as well as considerable trends over the 15-year time-series. The meridional zones along the Greenwich Meridian also displayed clear t...

The study found that the meridional positions and gradients of MADT exhibit interannual variability as well as considerable trends over the 15-year time-series. The meridional zones along the Greenwich Meridian also displayed clear trends over the period from June 2002 - November 2007 in integrated SST. The trends suggest a warming and shift in the climate state driving some of the variability in the ACC, which is consistent with other scientific studies.
