Deep Convection as the Key to the Transition From Eocene to Modern Antarctic Circumpolar Current
Xing, Qianjiang; Klocker, Andreas; Munday, David; Whittaker, Joanne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)From the Eocene (∼50 million years ago) to today, Southern Ocean circulation has evolved from the existence of two ocean gyres to the dominance of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). It has generally been thought that ... -
Deepening of Southern Ocean Gateway Leads to Abrupt Onset of a Deep-Reaching Meridional Overturning Circulation
Xing, Qianjiang; Klocker, Andreas; Munday, David; Whittaker, Joanne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Around 50–34 million years ago, the Southern Hemisphere witnessed a major reorganization of continents. This led to the opening and deepening of two Southern Ocean gateways (OGs)—the Tasmanian Gateway between Australia and ... -
The sensitivity of the Eocene-Oligocene Southern Ocean to the strength and position of wind stress
Xing, Qianjiang; Munday, David; Klocker, Andreas; Sauermilch, Isabel; Whittaker, Joanne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The early Cenozoic opening of the Tasmanian Gateway (TG) and Drake Passage (DP), alongside the synergistic action of the westerly winds, led to a Southern Ocean transition from large, subpolar gyres to the onset of the ...
