Southern Ocean pathways to deep ocean ventilation

Description: studying the combined role of deep ocean turbulence and Southern Ocean dynamics in driving the deep and abyssal branches of the global ocean circulation, thereby in controlling the global carbon and heat budgets.

SO-Hi: Southern Ocean High-resolution state estimate

A collaboration between the University of Cambridge and Scripps Institute of Oceanography focused on extending SOSE to much higher horizontal (1/24 degree) and vertical (240 levels) resolutions with tides, hourly wind forcing, high-resolution ice shelf representation, and an online biochemistry model, among the new features.

  • Funding: various sources

  • Joint with Matthew Mazloff (Scripps Institution of Oceanography)

  • Lab members: L. Baker, J. Lanham, P. Tedesco

  • Product to be made available in 2023
