The southern ocean meridional overturning in the sea-ice sector is driven by freshwater fluxes

The Southern Ocean is key in sustaining the world’s ocean global circulation, yet the influence of its freshwater cycle remains unconstrained. Here, the authors use a detailed oceanographic database to evaluate surface buoyancy fluxes and reveal central roles for both precipitation and sea-ice forma...

Sumario:The Southern Ocean is key in sustaining the world’s ocean global circulation, yet the influence of its freshwater cycle remains unconstrained. Here, the authors use a detailed oceanographic database to evaluate surface buoyancy fluxes and reveal central roles for both precipitation and sea-ice formation and melt.
