Interactions Between Antarctic Winds, Ocean And Orography In An Earth System Model

The interactions between winds and the ocean in the latitudes over and around Antarctica have been shown to be critical components of the current and previous global climates - determining the partition of heat and carbon between the ocean and atmosphere. Using the latest Earth System Model from NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, we explore and quantify the interactions between the winds, the ocean, and Antarctic orography over multiple timescales and tectonic settings.
