Cancellation of the Deacon Cell by Vertical Eddy Fluxes

The Overturning Circulation of the Southern Ocean has been investigated using a state of the art, eddy resolving ocean-sea ice model. The overturning circulation at constant depth and latitude reveals a 'Deacon Cell', a wind-driven meridional cell which acts to flux light surface waters No...
