A frictional control mechanism of circumpolar transport in barotropic reentrant channel models

Atsushi Kubokawa, Humio Mitsudera, Takuro Matsuta, Tomomichi Ogata

In low-drag barotropic channel models, Rossby waves from barotropic instability transport westward momentum to form and sustain a westward circumpolar current, contributing to frictional control of circumpolar transport.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Analyses of the wave activity flux and momentum budget indicate that the Rossby wave transports westward momentum both northward and southward from the unstable region, which is responsible for the westward circumpolar current formation and maintenance.

C2weakest assumption

The idealized barotropic reentrant channel with topographic obstacles sufficiently captures the essential dynamics of frictional control in the real Antarctic Circumpolar Current, despite the authors' caution that direct application requires care.
