Forcing of the Southern Ocean meridional overturning circulation by internal wave breaking
The Southern Ocean is governed by strong wind forcing, energetic eddies and probably intense internal wave fields, which are considered to be generated in part by interaction of the eddy field with bottom topography. While wind and eddy forcing have been recognized in the dynamical balance of the So...
