The Force Balance of the Southern Ocean Meridional Overturning Circulation
The Southern Ocean (SO) limb of the meridional overturning circulation (MOC) is characterized by three vertically stacked cells, each with a transport of about 10 Sv (Sv ≡ 10[superscript 6] m[superscript 3] s[superscript −1]). The buoyancy transport in the SO is dominated by the upper and middle MOC...
