2. 1. The role of Southern Ocean fronts in the global climate system

   Author : Robert M. Graham; Agatha de Boer; Alberto Naveira Garabato; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Southern Ocean; fronts; jets; Antarctic Circumpolar Current; wind stress; chlorophyll; iron; Last Glacial Maximum; Marine Geology; maringeologi;

   Abstract : The location of fronts has a direct influence on both the physical and biological processes in the Southern Ocean. However, until recently fronts have been poorly resolved by available data and climate models. READ MORE

4. 2. Turbulence in the sea ice impacted Southern Ocean and its implications for primary production and carbon export

   Author : Isabelle Giddy; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Southern Ocean; sea ice; submesoscale; diapycnal mixing; heat fluxes; primary production; carbon export; gliders.;

   Abstract : The sea ice impacted Southern Ocean, south of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, is one of the most important regions on earth for the cycling of carbon and distribution of heat and freshwater around the globe. Here, along-isopycnal upwelling of warm, carbon-rich circumpolar deep water coincides with the annual growth and melt of Antarctic sea ice that represents one of the worlds largest surface water transformations.

5. 3. Tracing pathways in the ocean circulation : A temperature and salinity perspective

   Author : Sara Berglund; Kristofer Döös; Jonas Nycander; Göran Broström; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Lagrangian trajectories; Climate modelling; Atlantic Ocean; Southern Ocean; Ocean circulation; heat; atmosfärvetenskap och oceanografi; Atmospheric Sciences and Oceanography;

   Abstract : The ocean circulation plays an essential role in our climate system. It redistributes heat, salt, carbon and other tracers across the globe, making the climate of Earth more moderate. This thesis targets density differences that are driving the ocean circulation. These differences are caused by changes in temperature and salinity. READ MORE

6. 4. The thermohaline circulation during the Last Glacial Maximum and in the Present-Day climate

   Author : Maxime Ballarotta; Kristofer Döös; David Stevens; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ocean model; circulation; LGM; atmosfärvetenskap och oceanografi; Atmospheric Sciences and Oceanography;

   Abstract : The thermohaline circulation (THC) corresponds to the large time- and spatial-scales ocean circulation associated with the transport of heat and salt, and is known to be an important factor controlling the climate variability. The large scales involved in the THC make it difficult to observe, and therefore the synergy of numerical models and climate proxy reconstructions is particularly relevant to study the characteristics of this circulation in the present and past climates.

7. 5. The Location and Variability of Southern ocean Fronts

   Author : Robert M. Graham; Agatha M. de Boer; Jonas Nycander; Qiong Zhang; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : The location of fronts has a direct influence on both the physical and biological processes in the Southern Ocean. Moreover, the Subtropical Front (STF) is believed play a key role in the global climate system. READ MORE
