Intermediate water mass production controlled by southern hemisphere winds
[Abstract]: It is demonstrated that the production of intermediate water in a coarse resolution ocean general circulation model is controlled by Southern Hemisphere winds. Results from four equilibrium experiments using simplified topography and surface forcing are presented. The first experiment wa...

[Abstract]: It is demonstrated that the production of intermediate water in a coarse resolution ocean general circulation model is controlled by Southern Hemisphere winds. Results from four equilibrium experiments using simplified topography and surface forcing are presented. The first experiment was carried out with no wind forcing, subsequent experiments employed annual mean surface stresses, which were amplified using factors of 0.5, 1, and 2.0 south of 30o S. In all experiments, the salinity minimum characteristic for intermediate water is reproduced. Volume transports are directly proportional to the applied Southern Hemisphere surface stresses. These force an increased export of intermediate water and heat into the South Pacific Ocean northward across 30o S and through Drake Passage into the South Atlantic Ocean.
