Phytoplankton are the base of the Antarctic food web, sustain the wealth and diversity of life
for which Antarctica is renowned, and play a critical role in biogeochemical cycles that …

The circulation of the Southern Ocean connects ocean basins, links the deep and shallow
layers of the ocean, and has a strong influence on global ocean circulation, climate …

The overturning pathways for the surface-ventilated North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) and
Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) and the diffusively formed Indian Deep Water (IDW) and …

A new global climate model, MRI-CGCM3, has been developed at the Meteorological
Research Institute (MRI). This model is an overall upgrade of MRI's former climate model …

The meridional overturning circulation of the ocean plays a central role in climate and
climate variability by storing and transporting heat, fresh water and carbon around the globe …

In this paper, we review observations, theory and model results on the monsoon circulation
of the Indian Ocean. We begin with a general overview, discussing wind-stress forcing fields …

We introduce ACCESS-OM2, a new version of the ocean–sea ice model of the Australian
Community Climate and Earth System Simulator. ACCESS-OM2 is driven by a prescribed …

Abstract The Atlantic Ocean receives warm, saline water from the Indo-Pacific Ocean
through Agulhas leakage around the southern tip of Africa. Recent findings suggest that …
