Dynamics of a quasigeostrophic antarctic circumpolar current

The idea that basin-like dynamics may influence or control the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is investigated with idealized analytic and numerical models. A simple 2-layer analytic model is developed to predict the transport evolution with the wind stress amplitude. At very low forcing, a non-...
