The nodal dependence of long-period ocean tides in the Drake Passage by P. L. Woodworth, A. Hibbert

“…<p>Almost three decades of bottom pressure recorder (BPR) measurements at the Drake Passage, and 31 years of hourly tide gauge data from the Vernadsky Research Base on the Antarctic Peninsula, have been used to investigate the temporal and spatial variations in this region of the three main long-period tides Mf, Mm and Mt (in order of decreasing amplitude, with periods of a fortnight, a month and one-third of a month, respectively). …”

The Drake Passage opening from an experimental fluid dynamics point of view by Miklós Vincze, Tamás Bozóki, Mátyás Herein, Ion Dan Borcia, Uwe Harlander, Attila Horicsányi, Anita Nyerges, Costanza Rodda, András Pál, József Pálfy

“…Abstract Pronounced global cooling around the Eocene–Oligocene transition (EOT) was a pivotal event in Earth’s climate history, controversially associated with the opening of the Drake Passage. Using a physical laboratory model we revisit the fluid dynamics of this marked reorganization of ocean circulation. …”

Dissolved Fe across the Weddell Sea and Drake Passage: impact of DFe on nutrient uptake by M. B. Klunder, P. Laan, H. J. W. De Baar, R. Middag, I. Neven, J. Van Ooijen

“…This manuscript reports the first full depth distributions of dissolved iron (DFe) over a high-resolution Weddell Sea and Drake Passage transect. Very low dissolved DFe concentrations (0.01–0.1 nM range) were observed in the surface waters of the Weddell Sea, and within the Drake Passage polar regime. …”
