A climate window in the Southern Ocean (MIT)
The world’s oceans act as a massive conveyor, circulating heat, water and
carbon around the planet. This global system plays a key role in climate
change, storing and releasing heat throughout the world. To study how this
system affects climate, scientists have largely focused on the North Atlantic,
a major basin where water sinks, burying carbon and heat deep in the ocean’s
interior.
But what goes down must come back up, and it’s been a mystery where, and how,
deep waters circulate back to the surface. Filling in this missing piece of
the circulation, and developing theories and models that capture it, may help
researchers understand and predict the ocean’s role in climate and climate
change.
Recently, scientists have found evidence that the missing piece may lie in the
Southern Ocean — the vast ribbon of water encircling Antarctica. The Southern
Ocean, according to observations and models, is a site where strong winds
blowing along the Antarctic Circumpolar Current dredge waters up from the
depths.
