Abstract:Standing meanders along the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) have been shown to be regions of elevated eddy variability, meridional heat transport, and vertical exchange. In this study, we investigate the influence of a standing meander south of Australia on air‐sea heat fluxes, upper ocean structure, and subduction in the 1/10° ACCESS‐OM2 ocean‐sea ice model forced by the JRA55 atmospheric reanalysis. We track the model's Subantarctic and Polar Fronts based on their jet and water mass structure, and produc… Show more
