Abstract: Eastward transport in the Southern Ocean is concentrated in jets associated with fronts in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), whereas flow along the Antarctic continental slope is strongly westward in the Antarctic Slope Current (ASC).… read more here.

Abstract: The Antarctic Slope Front (ASF) is a strong gradient in water mass properties close to the Antarctic margins, separating warm water from the Antarctic ice sheet. Heat transport across the ASF is important to Earth’s… read more here.
