Mixing waters up in the Southern Ocean

The Southern Ocean encircles Antarctica and plays a key role in controlling the global climate. It is here that ocean currents return from the abyss to the surface, closing the global ocean overturning circulation. This circulation drives the poleward transport of heat, which is critical to the relatively mild weather in the United Kingdom. New research has for the first time identified a new process that contributes to this upwelling of abyssal water, a key component of the global overturning circulation.
