SUMMARY:The Influence of Large-Scale Ridge Topography on Barotropic Flows 
 in the Southern Ocean - Ryan Patmore (BAS)

CONTACT:Dr Ryan Patmore
DESCRIPTION:Variations in seabed topography influence the path and strengt
 h of currents in the Southern Ocean. The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (AC
 C) spans the entire longitudinal range of the Southern Ocean and is signif
 icantly steered by ridges along the seabed with spatial scales akin to ter
 restrial mountain ranges. The presence of these submarine ridges is also c
 onducive to the formation of subpolar gyres\, which form in their lee.\nTh
 is talk provides an introduction into the influence of topography in a bar
 otropic setting. Results from idealised model simulations give details on 
 the role of topography in the formation of currents in the Southern Ocean.
  Additionally\, new insight is given into how the shape of a ridge can imp
 act the transport of both the ACC and Southern Ocean gyres.\n
