Role of Residual Overturning for the Sensitivity of Southern Ocean Isopycnal Slopes to Changes in Wind Forcing

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current plays a central role in the ventilation of heat and carbon in the global ocean. In particular, the isopycnal slopes determine where each water mass outcrops and thus how the ocean interacts with the atmosphere. The region-integrated isopycnal slopes have been sugges...
